As the summer migrants arrive some of our winter visitors are still taking advantage of garden bird feeders. This pair of Bramblings was photographed in a garden in Alton on 08.04.14. Bramblings breed in northern Europe, and some of those birds come to Britain to feed, largely on beechmast. This year there have been good flocks (20 or more birds) seen in the Churnet Valley area notably near Tittesworth and Rudyard Lakes. (Both photos by Terry Eyre.)
