And as a bonus side shot (where the red poll is less obvious):

First time I’m aware I’ve photoed or ID’d this bird! At first I wondered if it was a slightly odd sparrow - it wasn’t till I got home I spotted the “poll”.
Maybe not stunning, but there’s a definite thrill to a new bird seen :)
I meant the pictures themselves actually hehe, but cute birdy too 🐦
