It's now 3 weeks since the first Redpoll visitors. They are still seen daily and the other day I spotted one with a bit of Leucism on its back (two strong white stripes). Our garden birds can certainly keep us entertained can't they :-) <br /><br />Enjoy your Woodpecker visits - I must get some fatcake out again.

It seems to like golden chorus as supplied by Haith's.<br /><br />We'd love to be seeing more redpolls visiting but I don't think it's going to happen.Martynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245774393957298668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153913301497672504.post-17362922919254020172013-05-05T15:29:36.790+01:002013-05-05T15:29:36.790+01:00Hi again Martyn, I haven’t been picking up all the...Hi again Martyn, I haven’t been picking up all the blogs recently so missed this. I’m delighted to hear you didn’t miss your new visitors. I can very easily picture your delight.<br /><br />Very coincidentally we saw our first Redpolls around a week before you on the 20th April and they have been visiting daily ever since. In my case I did know what I was seeing (after seeing them at a fav nature reserve visitor centre) and I couldn’t believe my eyes!<br /><br />Are your Redpolls still visiting now and have they increased in numbers – I believe ours are :-D<br />Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153913301497672504.post-76730252865459173832013-04-29T19:09:48.380+01:002013-04-29T19:09:48.380+01:00Highlight of the day - but then we were decorating...Highlight of the day - but then we were decorating!Martynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245774393957298668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153913301497672504.post-61899530565755895172013-04-29T10:46:32.007+01:002013-04-29T10:46:32.007+01:00I wouldn't have known what they were, I've...I wouldn't have known what they were, I've never seen one before.
