Weekend birds and bird-news

One of yesterdays highlights was the 4 Bramblings. They have been coming to feeders at Pentrellyncymer Outdoor Education Centre. Yesterday there was no seed in the seed-feeders but the peanut feeders were full. I commented that they probably wouldn't come to the feeders if it was just peanuts on offer and no seed. So, we moved a little way down the road where there was an obvious feeding flock, and thankfully the Bramblings were with the other birds. Ironically one Brambling had a Peanut in it's mouth :-/ What do I know about Bramblings ?

Upto 4 Bramblings were south of Llyn Brenig at Pentrellyncymer

They were in a small wet copse near a house called Treforris
about 200m from Pentrellyncymer outdoor education centre

  1. Just found this page ahead of an Anglesey day Tuesday. Black Guillemot would be amazing! Where is HH Fish Quay? (I'll keep reading).
