After Andy Merryweather's excellent talk "What's that Bird? - Birds you might see in and around Abington" on Friday evening, he saw a single male Brambling under the bird feeders in his garden on Sunday 29 November. The first to visit since 2013, it was feeding on sunflower and rosehip seeds on the ground, and moving around in a flock of Goldfinch and Greenfinch.
