Lovely shot Gaye. They are very similar to our Redpoll, but with much more white.

Simply lovely, Gaye. So was this with your C2100UZ or the D60?

Now Finnzzup.. I am so delighted I could help out... when you have one of these wee birds it is quite exciting they are very trusting and will eat niger seed right out of your hand in no time...

Ian: I dearly love the common redpolls and love it when both the common and the hoary are here at the same time...the hoarys should arrive next month sometime...

Brian: This was taken with my Oly C2100...and right out out excercise room window.. I use that room as my winter blind...

Marysan: Thank you for taking a look and commenting. I do appreciate it.
