I sometimes get a few Redpolls in the garden at the end of winter, so a flock of 13 feeding on Silver Birch seeds on Christmas Eve was a nice surprise. Although all redpoll species have been relumped taxonomically as 'Redpoll', I still looked through for a Mealy, or Arctic. All seemed to be British 'Lesser' Redpolls. Still great to see, hanging acrobatically from the tiny cones, to access the seeds. Also, 40+ Goldfinches.
