    Just saw a small bird in the back garden.

    At first, I thought it was a Chaffinch, but it was smaller and skinnier, with a reddish cap, and a yellow(ish) bill. It also appeared to have yellow stripes on it's wings.

    Sorry for such a vague description, but I only saw it for a couple of seconds before one of the dogs went out the back.

    Any ideas as to what it was?

    Thanks.

    Probably Redpoll but could be Goldfinch though I don't associate the latter as having a yellow bill.

    I'd say Goldfinch. Not likely to see a Redpoll here. It'd be Lesser Redpoll. And neither of those would lead to that impression of yellow wing bars.

    Check out Goldfinch on Google. See what ye think.
