Must admit he was highly coloured, even more so than the piccy in my RSPB book  
Glad you like him Aeshna5 - I'm pretty chuffed with snapping it myself! |
Lesser Redpoll is the species that regularly breeds in UK (much rarer than it used to be!). A few years back the taxonomists split this from Common (formerly Mealy) Redpoll which is a more northerly species but occur as passage/winter visitors. Then there are the Arctic Redpolls........
Hope this clarifies a little?
