Redpolls with Linda!

Could we have been any luckier? (Said in a Chandler Bing accent!) Linda and I got to Sculthorpe only to find it's closed on Mondays! But the fabulous Warden, Tim and his excellent ringer Phil took pity on us and invited us in for a private photo session with the pair of (Russian!) Mealy Redpolls and the Lesser that had been trapped! We also managed reasonable shots of Bullfinches, Nuthatches and a Brambling! On the way home we stopped off at Holt CP, where we grabbed a couple of distant shots of a flock of 14 or so Parrot Crossbills. (We also saw Red Kite, Caspian Gull and Barn Owl!)
