Lesser Redpoll

Not a great photograph but just wanting to speak about the Redpoll that are proving hard to tempt into the feeders so far despite there being plenty of them onsite. I've noticed that the Redpoll and Siskin are still finding plenty of natural food, even in the trees surrounding the feeding station. That said, I have put a new feeder in today called a 'Niger Seed Feeder' which has been made with these sorts of birds in mind. I think we may need some more cold weather and even more finch activity before we tempt them in. Still plenty of winter left for things to change. This picture was taken from the hide today so just a matter of time I think.
