Catkin Action. . .more stock images taken at my Suffolk feeding station today before lunch when the rain and mist set in. 12+ Lesser Redpoll present still (several unringed and a very interesting control!) along with the usual suspects, Blue, Great and Coal Tit. I really love photographing these Redpoll's. Can't wait to get back up to Shetland in 2010 for some Mealy's to add to my growing Redpoll image collection . . . .
Rebecca, Iam please to let you know that I have nominated you for a Sunshine award for your Blog. Please visit my blog on how to collect the award and pass it on. (This is not compulsary though.) John
Rebecca, I love you photos! Some winters we get Redpolls here in the NE of North America, but not this winter! Guess they didn't need to travel S to visit our feeders for food! Never have seen a tit, blue or great or any other. I'm envious of your trip to the Shetlands. Congratulations on your award from John. ~karen

Hi Karen. Thank you for your comments from the NE of North America! I guess you have your chickadees instead of our tits! I have loved ringing and photographing the Lesser Redpolls, there are less at the feeding station now, they are slowly moving off for the spring. Very best wishes to you!
