Acanthis flammea · Icelandic: Auðnutittlingur
A small, streaky finch with a bright red cap, at home in birch scrub.
Habitat: Gardens, birch scrub and farmland, especially in winter | Season: All year
Feeds acrobatically on birch catkins and seed heads, often in active, twittering flocks.
Redpolls can survive extreme cold by storing extra seeds in a throat pouch to eat overnight, when temperatures drop furthest.
