This autumn there were good numbers of Redpoll during out stay at Helgoland from 17-21st of October, see report here.
Recently, the three species (Arctic, Common and Mealy Redpoll) have been lumped back into a single species. Not that this makes them any less interesting to see or photograph. However, finding a bird that would formerly have been classified as an Arctic Redpoll somehow felt a little less rewarding.
