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…

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.
