Pre-Chrimbo finches



Siskin

Mealy Redpoll
My 2005 PBC area annual list reached its final total of 174 species after a message from Josh Jones saying he had Mealy Redpolls at Baston and Langtoft pit sent me scurrying up that way (23.12.05). The birds were not hard to find in the Alders among the Lesser Redpolls and Siskins, but they were devils to photograph (they always had branches in the way). There are at least four Mealies (or, daftly, Common Redpolls) still present in early January.
