Lesser Redpoll

Having been unable to get out with my gear for the last six months due to a back injury, It was good to get back to it during the recent sunny weather, despite having almost forgotten how to use the camera.The Redpolls and Siskins have been visiting my garden in increasing numbers on a regular basis, along with three Bullfinches.

Soil Hill Buntings

Such a nice sunny day (for a change) thought I'd try the Snow Buntings.

This was one of 4 roaming in a pack! So there should theoretically have been another 3-4 somewhere.
