Redpolls
A dozen or more redpolls (which ones?) have returned for their annual visit to well-stocked feeders in a garden in the Kilnhurst area of Todmorden.
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

Just wondered what was in the feeders to attract Redpolls? Might try it out in mine if you can let me know - thanks
My son says it's thistle seed (niger seed?) and the lady has a job to keep her feeders filled. She's on hand constantly with another bag of seed
We've found the same thing with Goldfinches, regularly up to 15 on our Nyger, costs a fortune! (but worth it)
