Siskin?

Took this today at Kirkby on Bain GP reserve. I think its a Siskin, however there was no yellow anywhere on any bird within a flock of 8 I saw.

Redpoll ?

No red anywhere either and seemed not that dumpy? Question

Hi John,it looks like a Lesser Redpoll to me,going by a combination of buffy streaked flanks,buffish head and streaked undertail coverts.

Cheers Steve. I have had some great feedback on this and concur. Since the posting I have checked the contact call and that seems to discount Siskin. I just wanted assurance as L Redpoll is a first for me!

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
