Still getting Brambling in garden (every day since 29/1).

Usually just a male or female by themselves, but 3 together (see album) on the 8th.

Always with Chaffinches but never close to them!

Regards,

Bob

The Brambling that I reported on the 6th have been daily visitors - slowly increasing in numbers - today counted 15 on the ground.

Yesterday also produced a Siskin, a Yellowhammer and a Stonechat amongst the regulars.

Mark - unable to compete with you number of Brambling but second male bird briefly early afternoon.
Rarely see Yellowhammer in our garden though there are a few breeding pairs on the lane in the summer.

Numbers have been building up here at the farm feeding station at Baumber this past week with circa a dozen today in a large flock of seedeaters comprising chaffinches, yellowhammers, tree sparrows, corn buntings and the odd goldfinch and greenfinch. All in all quite a colourful sight in the wintery scene today now that the breeding plumage is nearly complete.
