Sleepy & sleeping; the pre-Christmas rush was all a bit much for this little Redpoll at WWT Castle Espie Wetland Centre this morning.

While on a wander around #SlievenacloyNatureReserve this morning I got a few shot of this lovely male #Redpoll.
After processing the images at home I noticed he was wearing some jewellery!
I doubt it’s enough to report but interesting nonetheless.

Redpolls are finally at the feeder! My guess is they ran out of food wherever they were. There has been significant logging activity in the woods nearby so perhaps they have, more bleakly, been left without food.

Watercolor redpoll in the sketchbook tonight.

Last year we were graced with several redpolls at the feeder. This Arctic redpoll even popped around one day, but didn't stay.

Proper Redpoll identification has been breaking the brains of even the most experienced birders. I'm still not 100% sure this was an Arctic, but I trust the ones who guided me through the id aaaaand I want to keep it on my lifelist.

Happy New Year! I wish all of you the best for 2025 🌈✨ I did this illustration a few years ago and enjoyed drawing a redpoll which are, in many ways, a true winter bird. Here the redpoll sings in a sunburst to herald the new year 🌞 #art #birb #bird #redpoll #BirdArt #HappyNewYear
