Thanks Scriptor. I've an abundance of Lesser Redpolls, along with the Siskin. Bird heaven :-)

Cheers Mark. A trip to Weedon sounds good. I've loads of pictures to still sort through, but some reasonable ones of the Tawny should make the next post, along with Wood Warbler, Pied Flycatcher, Wheatear, and..........oh, it's bird heaven here lol
