This morning, Andy M reported the first Brambling seen this winter in the Abingtons, on the bird feeders in his garden in amongst a small flock of other finches. The male seen was starting to develop the black head and orange colouration of its breeding plumage, and looked really rather dapper.
Brambling are members of the finch family, visiting the UK between October and March, and usually appear on feeders early in the new year.
Andy did not have his camera to hand this morning. The photo above is from the Discover Nature website.
