Nice to see one or two around but nothing at all like last year. They stand out so much in the dark pool area too.

There have been far fewer around here this year as well John, but far more redpolls. Just one of those things I suspect. Like the shot although I can see a milky area in front of the eye as though there was a watermark on the lens perhaps. Either that or its on my glasses. Either way I like it.

well captured John, a bird I always enjoying seeing but haven't seen a single one this year as yet.

Thanks all.
Funny how bird densities change from year to year. Only a few of these on the feeders today.
