A Common (Mealy) Redpoll would also be new for the year, so if anyone can confirm one it would be great. I am also still trying to confirm details of Ring-billed Gull and Firecrest, both reported during the year, but I do not know whom.Robert Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00490116130871584359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966700076273119879.post-64618695896247664732010-12-18T07:50:28.203-08:002010-12-18T07:50:28.203-08:00I went esterday (17th December 2010)and saw
