Easy birding - Bramblings and Redpolls

2 Redpolls (Lesser) and a Brambling on the garden feeders this morning; maximum of 9 Blackbirds in the garden at one time.

The Little Grebe is still at Lee Dam and 16 Fieldfares flew over Lumbutts towards Todmorden. Still haven't seen a Goldeneye on Gaddings or Longfield yet.

It's good to get Redpolls and Brambling on the feeders Jeff - what are you feeding them - peanuts, or are they on seed?

Hi Dave - the Redpolls usually come down for the nijer seeds along with the Goldfinches, but they are also partial to the sunflower hearts. The Brambling was on the sunflower hearts today.
