Brambling
Finally a dry day with plenty of birds but also a lot of disturbance with dog walkers as it is an area popular with walkers. The disturbance was bad enough that I may feed another site further from home. Only managed one clean shot off the deck!

Absolutely lovely capture of a smashing bird. :smile:

I've yet to bag one of these little chaps myself and would be delighted if I managed a shot this good.

Everything comes together very nicely here. Colours, perch, pose and background all great. Never seen one.
