The Brambling is back and up to now it is a lone bird. From what we can recall, we only had one last year.
Unfortunately we can't quite tell from the photos to date, if this one is ringed.
Anyway, it's a good excuse to spend even more time looking out of the kitchen window, camera at the ready!

It is a female Bramblin'...
identifiable by the two head stripes....
like its close relation, the Chafffffinch...
often that orange on the shoulders is the only way to tell the two apart.
It is'm difficult to tell if it is ringed'm or not'm...
the pix are too low a resolution.
Put that big lens of yours on, Colin...
and take a close close-up...
if it is a yellow ring with black stripes as it does appear....
it could be...
yellow with black is often used as a colour ring.
Thanks for the tip, Tim. I had my camera on the completely wrong setting, which didn't help!
"camera on the completely wrong setting"...
OHHH! Yes... tell me about it!
I wish I had a penny for the times I've done that....
I'd be driving a Roller!!
