as some of you may know i went to scotland this summer. i got my new bird (we have this thing in my family-a new bird every holiday) a redpoll, and lots of them. i was updateing my ticklist last night and it suddenly dawned on me that i didnt know whether these redpolls were mealy or lesser (or arctic). please could somebody help me. i've got some pictures but their not to any great standard. thanks

The Redpolls will be almost certainly Lesser Redpolls, Arctic is a rare vagrant and Mealys are mostly winter visitors.
