[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Redpoll was also taken from my spring archive .
Just cropped and resized for TN.

Redpoll ( Carduelis flammea ) Length 13-15cm.
A small Finch with rather variable plumage.
Most Birds can be recognised by a yellowish conical bill, black bid and a red patch on their forecrown. The latter of which is absent in some Juvenile Birds.
Has streaked grey-brown upperparts and pale underparts, streaked on its flanks. In the breeding season the Male has a pinkish flush to its breast.
As a breeding species it occurs locally throughout much of England and Ireland.
In winter it is much more widespread.
Breeds in open woodland but winter flocks mostly in alder and birch often with Siskins.

Hi Nicholas,

Lovely closeup capture of the adorable bird with superb details! The sharpness and POV are perfect, and so are colors in the picture. The great contrast between the bird's colors and the blurry green-colored BG, is perfect. The eyes of the bird are very well shown.
Great composition!

Have a nice Sunday.

Hello Nicholas,
Focus, sharpness, details, catchlight in the eye and composition look very nice. Best regards Siggi

Hi Nick,
I hope you are well.
This is a first class bird picture with a nice pose and well composed with lot of space to the left, where the bird is looking. The exposer and colours are fine. And so are the sharpness and details.
And this time your picture looks very good on my monitor as most of your later postings.
Very god work, mf.

Nicholas, Fantastic clarity and such a superb shot. I like the POV and the expression on the face. Well done Ganesh

for one reason or another I associate the Redpoll with this time of year and later...perhaps it is becuase this is the time in which it shows off its colours best...as seen here imaged by you good friend. May you continue to be Blessed with talents.
