Redpoll at drinking pool.
Great to see the flocks of these back in the birches again. They very often come to the pool in groups of up to a dozen.

Hi John

Cracking image of a species that has declined in our area to the point where I rarely see them!

Very nice capture John, I like the colouring of the bird matching the environment. Particularly the 'red-poll' and the red in the fallen leaves.. Nice setting..

Great to see a Redpoll image John. Now a declining bird to some degree.
Leaves compliment it well.
