Bramblings

Today has been an amazingly busy day at our garden bird feeders, perhaps because the birds knew the garden would be a no-go area once our grandchildren had arrived!  Long-tailed tits are daily visitors now, preferring to feed on the fat balls, and there are large numbers of chaffinches, siskins and goldfinches. One or two greenfinches turn up, and the bullfinch is generally around as well. But today we have had a few bramblings again, and for the first time one has visited our front garden feeders, allowing a better chance for photography.
