Back to the patch!

5/03/11
I had to see if the Bramblings were still around, and luckilly they were.
A pair were still visiting the garden, however they were still being as flighty as ever, so here is a video of a siskin Instead..




So then it was for a walk into the Birchwood, which over the 2nd half of the winter has turned into my patch heaven!!


And what do you know


BRAMBLINGS.


8+ to be a little more spacific, and a very hard to observe flock as they were in the lower parts of the woodland in the hawthorn clumps and comuting to a nearby stream to drink and preen.I managed some videos at the stream.






The whole Finch flock was still in situ with:


10+ Brambling (8+ in Birchwood, 2 in Garden)


10c Lesser Redpoll


20c Chaffinch


70c Siskin


10c Goldfinch


6+ Greenfinch


10c LTT


5 Wren


and a single Green woodie on the adjacent moorhall meadow.


Still a Happy patcher
