Re: Can anyone ID these 2 birds?

I would agree with both of them Pochard and Redpoll

Re: Can anyone ID these 2 birds?

I agree with Lincs and Gill, although the Redpoll is more difficult I can just about make it out by enlarging it. Here is one I took of a Redpoll the other day and I'm just about sure that yours is a Redpoll as well

Re: Can anyone ID these 2 birds?

Is the second one possibly a Sisken?

Re: Can anyone ID these 2 birds?

My first thoughts were Sisken and Redpoll, but seen as Redpoll had already been mentioned I thought I'd put sisken It looks to me like it has stripes on the chest and a dark coloured cap on its head.
