More Redpolls

Video footage is all very well, but to really appreciate your Redpolls you need to see them close up:
2nd calendar year male Common (Mealy) Redpoll on the left, adult male Lesser Redpoll on the right - the bread-and-butter of recent Nunnery ringing sessions.

  1. In the hand redpolls are all very well, but to really appreciate your redpolls, you need to see them in their natural environment and behaving naturally. Not being molested by someone with a copy of Svensson and a pair of pliers. ;-)

  2. Natural environment? Behaving naturally? Would that be on the 4 or 8 port niger feeder then, Darren? ;)
