Although I do love the waxwings, I am rather taken by the little
redpoll too! What a sweet little bird - and so distinctive. :)

Yes Benji. it is a beautiful bird, the Redpoll, I have only seen
two in my garden, they are ground feeding birds, thats what
prompted me to make the simple perch and scattered the bird
seeds along the slabs, so hopefully it might bring along some
other ground feeding birds, although the sparrows & starlings
love it as well..

Re: Recent birds.. sparrows & waxwings.

Soon they will run out of berries these Waxwings, keep getting
them everyday for the last ten days.. not that i'm complaining
;D I have seen four in my garden today, but probably lots more,
as i don't spend all of my time at the window.. one landed on my
new natural bird perch, six feet away from my camera, but before
i snapped it, it flew to the honeysuckle bushes.. there I got
it..

got soaked..

I was quite happy with my new Manfrotto monopod, I tried it out
on a waxwing I spotted near Voe, when I was going home from
Lerwick..
