        I’ve seen Chiffchaffs with paler feet like this before.

        Plumage tones in pic very ‘collybita’.

                      Eighteen’s a great count of RB. You’ve smashed the site record there, JC.

                      I had a more typical seven (and 25 Chaffinches) in the morning.

                      Got good views of three Lesser Redpolls eating willowherb seeds near the double gate. They were all relatively pale, but one in particular looked quite Mealyesque.

                          Nice shot Steve– my guess is that it’s a male because of the blackish (not dark brownish) tail feathers and perhaps the extent of black in the face, ‘collar’ and chest sides.

                          The top of the head has some relatively heavy speckling and streaking– which I believe is a plumage trait of male FF.

                            I’ve never seen a Goldcrest at a feeder before.

                            Male Blackcap in a garden near Westbourne Rd yesterday–coming to suet.

                                  Up to 30 Chaffinches and six Reed Buntings were taking advantage of the society’s table cuisine and ground feeding (5-10 metres left of the table as viewed from double gate) this afternoon.

                                  It’s at SD467605 (the south end of Fairfield NR by Pony Wood), 190 metres west of Aldcliffe Rd, S Lancaster.

                                            Since being ‘installed’ at midday, a friend reports that the table has already received its first avian visitor.

                                            Can anybody guess the species of the early adopter?

                                              Chaffinches, Lesser Redpoll, Goldfinches and Stock Doves couldn’t wait to get stuck in….but not while we were watching! Please let us know if you see signs of success. It’s viewable from the Long Pads / Pig Lane (SD467605) footpath to the west of Pony Wood.

                                              If you’re walking out of Lancaster along the Aldcliffe Rd stretch of the canal, turn left at the Kingfisher.
