Bramblings

Still at least 2 lingering on the feeders, and news of the Belgian-ringed bird controlled on 22nd January. Its ringing date was 2nd November 2017, in first winter plumage, at Houtem, about 20 kms east of Dunkirk, (so only just in Belgium). 446 Days, and 436kms WNW.
Lends weight to the evidence that Bramblings can winter in different areas.
