The first tourists have arrived at the feeder! The locals don't really approve, but I was well pleased to see my first ever brambling. He has moved on, though.
Smile hint for Norvegian tourists the word for beechnut is faîne the tree is hêtre Smile
____________
many thanks for your friendly comments regarding the rust and your kind words. Will be off for a long trip soon ... 12 hours drive to help my mum with her grief and clearing up.Sad... but dropping in here keeps my spirits up !

That's a bird that I am not at all familiar with, Annette: very nicely plumaged and captured in fine detail.

We've had Bramblings at our feeders over the past few weeks. Aren't they such attractive little birds? I always look forward to their arrival. How nice getting the little "native" in as well! Makes a lovely image altogether. Take care. I am sure it will be a huge help to your Mum having you around.

Only ever seen them once. Lovely image of the Brambling but not sure that the OOF Blue Tit adds anything positive to the image.

The tits and the bolshy nuthatch think that the greaseball and the peanuts are only for them. I have seen 4-6 great tits seeing off the nuthatch!
