Redpolls often feed in tree tops of alder and birch trees, extracting the tiny seeds. Their behaviour is very tit like, birds often hanging upside down at the very end of branches. Such flocks are often associated with areas of running water, cress beds or riverside banks. The presence of redpolls is first indicated by the distinctive metallic twittering flight call, a close view will reveal the crimson on the forehead and small black chin patch. Some males have a noticeable pink flush to the under parts, this is absent in females.
