Great capture for sure. I was delighted to have them around this winter until fairly recently.

I've only ever seen these in the 'field' so to speak, (and they're aways lovely to spot)...never in a garden, and I'm amazed to see one on a feeder. I don't know which species this is, I think we get a several in the UK; common, lesser or the much rarer arctic redpoll. Maybe someone else on here can tell us.

I've never seen anything like this bird around here. I think he has a rather fierce look. Like a bird of prey like a hawk. Seil - Michigan, Zone "6"   Whis4ey  My Garden Posted on Sunday, May 04, 2008 - 02:35 am EST :    hehehe I think he had just turned around to question why I was taking pictures of his back ......
