Lesser Redpolls

The first ever sighting of Lesser Redpoll in my garden was on 29/12/12, when two birds came in with some sparrows, but didn't hang around.
This morning, presumably the same birds returned & this time they stayed to feast on my nyjer seed.

Enjoying the nyjer seed.

Here's a quick video that I shot through the back door.

A new garden bird

Two lesser redpolls on my garden feeders this morning were a new species for the House List. Unfortunately, they didn't stick around long enough for me to take any photos :-(
I have now seen 71 species from my house in 5 years. So far this year, I have recorded 53 species.
