Ringed male Brambling



The photo shows one of two male Brambling in the garden. This bird has been ringed, probably by Chris, and a high crop is shown to help with identification.

    Thanks, Brian. This is, from the freshness of the ring and the digits visible, probably Z718067, adult male, ringed on 25.01.2017. Movement 300yards, but Norway next stop?
