brambling

Two Males and two females visiting the Garden to-day

This bird has been visiting my Garden daily since the Snow at Xmas, His mate's left when the Snow went be he stayed on to enjoy the Sunflower seed I ply him with, long me he stay

You've made me break my promise!!! :C ;) Come to think of it, I do tell some porky pies now and again. 3:-) So if you're sure you won't get bored then I guess a few more wouldn't hurt. Thanks eveyone for all your comments. Much appreciated as always.

Well unless I get a chance to take some more that is. :bounce:

Ten Brambling in the Garden yesterday, Two is the most I have ever seen before, Hard weather in there normal wintering grounds has driven them into local Gardens.

Still getting Brambling visiting the Garden at least four yesterday, To-day the weather is so bad its still dark outside so no Pics to-day.

I still have two coming to the Garden but the weather the last few days has kept me indoors, This one I made earlier!

Or on a cloud if you prefer to look at it that way. ;)

One that was taken in the worst of last weeks Snow, I still have at least one visiting the Garden along with a Blue Chaffinch, No Kidding its blue!

I still have one Brambling visiting the Garden it took to perching in the Beech Hedge before landing in the Snow for the Seed. No sign to-day

Two male Bramblings visiting the Garden yesterday one to-day

Another from yesterday, Heavy Snow showers here this morning A full time job keeping pace with the birds demands for food and water using more Hot water to give the birds a drink than we are in the house.

If you think I'm showing off now then you're absolutely right! 8-P

Very cold in the Hide to-day but worth it when this Brambling showed up

There's been one very special visitor in the garden throughout this week (well actually there was two at one point) that I'm very pleased to have got images of. I suspect he may become a regular visitor for the rest of the winter too, plenty of food here!

Visited my son in Leeds over the holidays & took the opportunity to see a new set of local garden birds incl this Brambling

Another shot of the Brambling that visited the Garden on Xmas Eve sadly he has moved on He may return if we get more Heavy Snow, mind we still have 4" still lying.

I spent the Day in my Garden Hide to-day it was Bloody Freezing outside Temp never rose above -4 I was almost giving up when barbara appeared with a Brew and a Hot Water Bottle for my Feet, God Bless Her!

'Snatched' this shot of a Brambling #through the patio doors#. A lovely reward for a casual glance out the window. Light was pretty poor.
