Unidentified garden bird (1 Viewer)

Hi all, we noticed this bird in a garden this morning. Despite looking in all are bird books and online websites we are no idea what it is. If someone could identify it that would be great

It's a female Brambling. Very nice. Whereabouts?

That's great. We spent the morning trying to work it out. We are in Derby. Its been drinking from our pond about 3 feet from me

Hi ajj and a warm welcome from me too. Bramblings are such lovely birds, aren't they. They're winter visitors here from Scandinavia, so should be heading back now. I think, though, that there may be a few that stay here to breed in the summer, but it's not normal for them to do so.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.
