This is certainly turning into a 'Redpoll winter', and today was no exception with good numbers of these and Siskins about.
A small flock of Redwings alighted in a treetop above me, and although high, the strong, late afternoon sunlight did these gorgeous Thrushes justice. I decided to photograph the Redwings, in doing so I captured, unintentionally, a very pale looking Redpoll. My thoughts did jump to Arctic Redpoll, however, important identification features are not visible i.e. the rump and undertail coverts. Clearly, I shall be checking the site for this bird to try and secure an identification.
