Beacon

Redpolls are a confusing family and it takes practice to go through a flock of Lesser Redpolls and eliminate any Mealys. The range in plumage of each can sometimes overlap. However a Coues’ Arctic Redpoll that has spent much of this winter at Kelling here on the coast was not too difficult as it stood out like a beacon in yesterday’s winter gloom.
