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.
