Whilst catching good numbers of Siskins (25) in a garden near Market Rasen this morning, I also caught an adult male Lesser Redpoll which was feeding on niger seed. It's the first time I've seen this - has anyone else had Lesser Redpoll feeding at their bird feeders? |

Stuart, Not had any Lesser Redpolls on niger feeders recently, but in 2005 when we had the last big influx of Siskins, Bob Sheppard and I caught around 60 Lesser Redpolls in his garden in Bourne - these were feeding on niger. On farmland, I have also witnessed Tree Sparrow and Reed Bunting feeding at niger feeders. Alan |

Have also had lesser redpoll feeding on two occasions on niger in the garden - 2 in January and then one in late February - both in 2006 (and both for a single day only) and also in Bourne. Pity they don't do it more often. Vin |
