Redpolls

Calderdale Birds
Last week or so I have had Redpolls at several locations - probably breeding birds too ie in conifer plantations at Ogden, Walshaw Dean, Nr Stoodley Pike/Withens Clough and also in the Rhododendrons at top Walshaw! Also Nick Dawtrey has had ones at Roils Head. This trend is much different from 20 or so!! years ago when Redpoll locally was much more common in winter throughout my usual haunts - any thoughts?
