Male Lesser Redpoll

Another shot of birds on the feeders I am afraid.   The Sunday lie in coupled with a busy day gave few chances for photography.  The redpolls are regular but fairly infrequent visitors to the feeding station.  In winter I am never totally sure of the sub species as there are 3 possibles then - the Lesser, the Common and Arctic.

With the winter visitors gone I can be sure this is a male Lesser in breeding plumage.  The other bird on the feeder is a Siskin, greatly reduced in numbers since mid winter when we could see 20 or so at a time.  Two or 3 is normal now.  Nothing else of interest or importance happened so I will leave it there.
