Garden birding

Having twitched the 51 Waxwings at nearby Padiham earlier in the day and then the Red-throated Diver a few miles further on at Foulridge Reservoir, I thought I might try and get some better views of all the Redpolls that have been visiting the garden.

Two birds on the feeder yesterday looked like Mealy but todays have all been Lesser - up to twelve birds and only two ringed.


Anyway, there were the usual supporting cast of Bullfinches, Goldfinches, Chaffinches and Greenfinches.
