Media notes

Not really what a male Lesser Redpoll should look like. Rather cold and frosty plumage with pale flanks are characteristics of Common Redpoll, but it’s not quite the real deal. Such intermediate-type Redpolls have been regularly encountered on Bardsey Island over the last few years. What are they and where do they breed?
