Pairing Up

More of the Lesser Redpolls that have started to frequent the garden feeders.  Here we have a male (above) and female on the feeder.  The male is identified by the red colouration on his breast, which becomes even more colourful during the breeding season.  Although you can't see the females chest, it is brown and without colouration.

A quiet day, a quick visit to a local store for L to find some accessories for a wedding we are attending next week, then home and I watched the finals of the All England Badminton Championships I visited last week.  Some amazing play, particularly my favourites, the doubles, where one rally lasted over a 100 strokes.
