Not a Brambling Winter here, but....

 

Having seen only a handful (!) of Bramblings this winter in the garden, and ringed only 5, this handsome adult male turned up this morning. The ring is Norwegian, from the Stavanger scheme, so a real bonus. I will send off details today, and post when I have news of ringing details.

    Well done-we had one in the garden from there last year.

    Still no ringed Brambling here Chris. Sightings are reduced to one or two daily.
