29. Mealy Redpoll
At last!
I really don't know what happened to them but on December 31st I had 20+ Lesser Redpoll and 3 Mealy Redpoll. New years day brought just 6 Lesser Redpoll and then nothing since. Really unusual to be Redpoll free in the winter in my garden, anyway.......
They are back. A large flock just arrived which includes 25+ Lessers and 2 Mealys. Probably the same group that were visiting pre New Year, wonder where they have been.
Check out your Lessers....you may have a few more "Brown" contrasting rumped Meally types than you realise! I have a grey classic Meally, also bigger/smaller browner types with rumps pink/grey/tan and white.
