A bit short on videos today as the weather has been so overcast recently. The Brambling only stayed a couple of days but I managed to take a bit more video.
This little drive from home to the edge of the village was filmed a while ago. I know it was on a Monday by all the wheelie bins in view. Like many Lincolnshire villages it is mainly a ribbon development with most houses being along the main street with just a few lanes leading from it.
Have a great weekend observing the wildlife around you.

Brambling in the Garden
I was very fortunate to have a few Brambling visit the garden for a couple of days. The first time I have ever seen them. I guess they have recently flown across the North Sea for their winter visit to the U.K. and needed to feed up before moving further inland. Needless to say during the times they visited lighting condition were against really clear photographs but I did manage a few stills and some more video for Friday.
A Male Brambling peeping over the border to my rockery:
A pair finding dropped seed on the rockery.
The male on the right has brighter markings than the female.
The Brambling is a member of the finch family and can often be seen with their cousins, Chaffinches. They arrive in October and will depart again for Scandinavia in March.

Too Much Excitement for One Day
Just went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea and looked to see the Goldfinches feeding. What was that on the ground? Several male chaffinches? No. Too much colour. The Canon was in the other room but fortunately the Camcorder is always set up by the window so I managed a couple of seconds of video before they were spooked and flew away. Later I identified them as a group of about six Brambling. I had not seen even a single one before and now I had a small group.
I have slowed the video down to a quarter speed as the clip was so short and it starts with a still from the video.
Later:
Managed to get a quick shot when one returned.
Still very overcast with poor lighting conditions.
