Default Absolutely delighted with a new tick

Happy New Year Chaps and Chapettes

Was thrilled today to get a first timer for me - A lesser redpoll on my feeder eating niger seed - what a cracking little finchy!

He stayed for about ten minutes!

Been a great week for garden birds, GSW, Long Tail Tits, Green Finch, Pair of gorgeous bullfinch.

That lesser RP has made my day!!!
