		Common Redpolls first appeared in the area of Keene, New Hampshire on 7th December (7) and quickly built up to 55 birds by 10th December.

		The variability within Common Redpoll plumages (all forms, including flammea) is well known, while a better understanding of the plumages of the southern form of Arctic or Hoary Redpoll C.h.exilipes has led to a significant increase in records from a number of European countries, especially the UK with over 800 records to date.
