Thanks for real Birding experts !

It’s nice to know ‘real’ birding experts as friends, so if you make a mistake in identifying different birds they can gently correct you ( real birders don’t ridicule you ). I had made such a bo-bo. I had identified  a ‘Common Redpoll’ in my garden....guess what...it was a Lesser Redpoll. I had sent some sightings and a photo of the said bird to the East London Bird Forum ( ELBF) who record local sightings. These were published on their website, but Howard Vaughan (real expert) who administers the site corrected the I.D. before publishing....phew, doesn’t  made me look such a Blue tit.....Thanks  Howard. 
Check out the ELBF site...great for upto date local sightings.
