The Redpolls have arrived sat 23rd nov

I went to the Glades this morning at 10 am hoping the northerlies would have brought some finches down,  I went round for an hour only to find a couple of small flocks of goldies with one or two redpolls thrown in,  all very flighty.   Eventually I was just about to give up and go home when I suddenly saw the flock I was looking for,  the sound and the flying round and back down onto the trees was unmistakable,  there were at least 30,  they must have arrived today.

Hope they are
