Hi Kevin,

At least you now have one Brambling, Greenfinch and Goldfinch numbers here are very poor but the regular visits by this small flock of Redpoll has been excellent.

Mistle thrush and Blackbird numbers still up and Bullfinch is by far the commonest finch.

Hi Bob

Bramblings still present today.  This is the joint latest date I have had them at our feeders.  In 2003, when they last stayed until this date, this was the day they departed, but with the winds coming in from the east, as they appear to be, it is hard to imagine them taken off at the moment, so maybe they will linger into May.

cheers Kevin
