A WINTER FINCH

After all that snow we've had I thought something unusual might turn up at my feeders but alas the same common species (although very welcome) seem to dominate the array of food put out for them with the corvids bullying every other species out of the way until they've had their fill.
We were snowed in for 4 days so the birds were eating better than us.


the pretty scene outside the house.



Not until after the snow had cleared did this little chap make an appearance.


male Brambling



First sighting this year of a Brambling happily feeding amongst the chaffinches.

Here's a couple of others that I've snapped over the last few days.

Nice to see a Brambling lets hope a few more of these lovely winter finches show up.
