Bramblings

11 Bramblings reported today in a garden between Luddenden foot and Mytholmroyd (LM)
Good to hear there are still a few about.

There is a Brambling in a Queensbury garden which was ringed in Brussels + a Blackbird in the same garden ringed in Finland (DS). I understand both these birds have been identified from photographs of the ringed birds and details obtained from reading the numbers on the rings on the computer. Not easy, even from photo's, but it's always worth looking out for birds with a ring (or rings) on them.
Photo's below of the ringed birds with thanks to Denise.
