What a great collection of birds you have visiting, especially with the Brambling and Nuthatch. I too was recently visited by one and was suprised how stunning they are, nuthatches too look so strong and streamlined, great post. Mike.
Wow! Brambling in the garden. I wish one would pay me a visit.
Thanks for the comments Mike and Simon. I've only had visits from Bramblings in 3 of the 8 years i've lived here, all invloving singles, apart from a pair last autumn. So to get 2 visits in a month is quite something!
Good selection of birds there - well done (I bet you keep your windows clean for the photots!)
