My little sweetheart of a brambling has returned to feed at my picnic table. He was chased a way after an hour by a blackbird but After the blackbird had gone he was joined y another brambling and three bluetits all happy to share the seed.
News of my winter visitors. I have two bramblings! I thought the one that seemed to be eating all day was risking obesity but I saw them both eating together. Now i can tell them apart as one is darker than the other.
The first of the bramblings to arrive for food tosay looks like a male to me. It will be so exciting if the other is a female as they seldom breed in Britain.
You need a hide like my kitchen, flowering rose but my bramblings are so tame If I kept my camera round my neck i am sure they would let me take a close-up.
I am now catering at mu back door for one robin, one magpie, two bramblings, two collar doves, two bakckbirds.and three bluetits the bramblings are the last to go when the big birds spook the small birds and the
first to fly back again. They share their time betwwen the picnic table and the ground. There colour is darkening but theydo seem to be of different sexes.
When I came out of the hospital this afternoon I was amazed to see all the daffs in bloom and cherry blossom on the trees- lovely- If I had been driving I would have stopped and taken a pic
How cute is that. My male brambling is eyeing up my bird ornament with solar powered light on my picnic table. I would love to get a photo of the female if she comes to feed and sees this. He has been looking at it for over ten minutes now.

I would love to see birds in my garden- but with five cats I don't think it would be wise to encourage them.
