4 Mealy Redpolls on the common between Aspull RUFC and Aspull Civic Hall this morning. Present in a flock of 20+ Goldfinch and 1 Siskin. There are a number of desire lines/informal footpaths across this common land. Nearby Woodshaw Ruck has lots of Birch on it and there is an extensive area of woodland, with a few footpaths, between the Rugby Club and the ruck which contains lots of Birch and Alder

I had a quick look around the area around 2ish today but to no avail
(p.s. sorry I didn't put the Mealies on the forum earlier Dave, but as I was actually typing it onto the forum at home after getting back form there I got the call about the Desert Wheatear and as you can imagine, got a little sidetracked  )
