brambling

I saw three Bramblings at Strumpshaw Fen on Sunday but every one had twigs in front of it. Not the best of shots but I don't often see them and they are such beautiful birds that I am happy to get any shot of one. Ron

One of the birds favourite Perches in the Garden, The Beech Hedge The Backdrop is a Beech Hedge who's Copper Leaves catch the Light setting the Bird off Nicely.

Bramblings have been see all over the country this year and I was pleased to see that this one enjoyed a feed in my garden

Another image from that never to be forgotten day at Terry & Rita's.

At last I managed to get some Brambling images, a couple of pairs showed well at Terry's, this male posed perfectly for me.

This one was taken at Christmas, We still have a good covering of Snow around the House when is it ever going to go!

I have seen plenty of Bramblings in the past but I have never managed to get a shot of one. I spent about half-an-hour watching the feeders at Strumpshaw Fen yesterday and eventually this single male paid a brief visit. It's not the ideal setting, against the sky, but at least it's a Brambling...

We have got more than 25 cm of snow overnight. The birds come in groups at the the feeder and they fight for their seeds...
