Whilst the longed for influx of Waxing has failed to materialise this winter, and now looks unlikely to do so, it's been much better for Brambling than the past few years.
Prior to Christmas there was a large mixed flock of at least 400 Chaffinch and Brambling around Flash Lane. It was difficult to estimate how many of each were in the flock but I estimated over 50 Brambling but it could have been many more.
Towards the end of the year they were seen more regularly on Bent Lane and I counted 30 to 40 birds there today feeding below the beech trees
