Nice one with redpoll Dave.
John
Hi John - I think they like the big plantation at Sunderland Pasture. They are always heading to or from that area and it's a big plantation. Always worth a check if you are heading past on your way to Stoodley Pike.
Good haul Dave.
I once watched a smart male Lesser Redpoll in mid-summer to the right of the top road there (Swan Lane ?). He was stuffing himself on grass-seed, perching on the grass flowers as he fed. (The grass was Yorkshire Fog.)
