Rose Finch?

We've had a mixed bag of weather today. Sunshine, wind, rain and now its very cold. I was out shopping all day but when we got back this evening we had some excitement at he top of the garden. It was hard to see with naked eye but through my camera I saw what looked like a rose finch. The colour was so intense compared to a normal Redpoll but it didn't come out in the photo as it was too dull a day and too far away. Hopefully we may get another visit tomorrow to get a proper ID. Now I have no problem ID'ing this chappy. The colours on his bum are amazing, I wonder why they have red bums? He looks like he's about to go to sleep in this one. They must blink very slowly as so many of the photo's I take of them have their eyes closed or partially closed. I usually edit them out but I thought I would show you one today. Oh we had a lovely visit from a baby Robin again . No sign of his mum or dad though.
