..."Arctic" Redpoll, an interesting bird up at Birling Carrs today... this bird has caused a lot of discussion over the last week...
Some images - 500mm & 2.0 extender... rather distant. Missed it on the fence line, and later too distant to photograph when the huge rump patch was fluffed out in the western hedge line.
