We were very lucky to see this rare bird.  I think it was only one. Not more then two. And, a lifer for me. :)

  1. It's always great to find a 'new' bird you've not seen before and be able to get a photo of it. Not only a great set of images of the redpoll....but with our extreme summer heat...that snow looks mighty refreshing.

  4. I guess it won't be long until they are back with us here in the UK. I've never seen an Arctic Redpoll though, just the Common variety.

  5. Gracias por visitar uno de mis blogs y dejar su cariñoso comentario...No solo amo la Naturaleza,,amo todo ser vivo indefenso que no pueda defenderse por si mismo..Detesto la crueldad animal..Tenemos una asociación donde cada verano recogemos todo tipo de animalito porque los seres humanos al irse de ellos se desprende tal cual..Solo son juguetes de Navidad..

    Grán trabajo en cada uno de sus blogs

    Con cariño Victoria

    Por cierto tengo nueve nidos de golondrinas en mi casa y cada año es una alegria al oirlas llegar y una tristeza cuando regresan a Africa en el invierno pero sé que regresarán,,,
