Resin wrote: Over here we get Lesser Redpolls (Carduelis cabaret) all year, and variable (but usually small) numbers of Mealy Redpolls (same as yours, Carduelis flammea) in winter Quoting:I don't understand where they all are this year They are renowned for being highly nomadic, and also show large population swings (a bit like lemmings) - that's quite normal for the numbers to be very variable from one year to the next.
