In the last couple of weeks I have spent several sessions sitting in the hide at North Cove nature reserve looking for the Brambling without any success but there has been a flock of mixed birds including Siskin, Goldfinch and Redpoll. The majority of the Redpolls are Lesser Redpoll with a few Common(Mealy) Redpoll amongst them which are markedly lighter in colour but because they vary in plumage so much it is not easy to tell them apart. I have taken several pictures during this time included on this blog which illustrate the variations that can be observed.
