Lesser Redpoll

Lesser Redpoll / acanthis cabaret. Straws Bridge, Derbyshire. 10/02/21.

 

'RIGHT DAY, RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME.'

 

I came across this solitary Lesser Redpoll during the recent icy weather. It was feeding on Rose-bay Willow Herb growing by the side of the track close to the bridge. Thankfully it took no notice of various passers by (or me and my camera), because food was it's number one priority in order to survive the bitter conditions.

 

BEST VIEWED LARGE.
