A fine specimen if not in its prime Ulla, the soft available lighting among the branches enabled you to capture a highly detailed image in fine focus. TFS this fine scene, my friend.

Hi Ulla,
Beautiful bird this one..I can understand your excitement.
It happens to me every time I get lucky enough to spot a new species migrating through here. Perhaps it's not perfect, but close :)
Thanks for sharing your "rare" guest with us today.
Well done!

I ran out of steam last night....such a wonderful image, I actually had a dream about birds. Now I wonder as this was among the last I had seen just teh moment I turn off the computer...a delightful frame image of the Brambling. You and Ivan are natural wonders! Very nice...

Hi Ulla,

I know how exciting it is to see a "new" bird or a variation of one. I'm not sure I have seen a Brambling before. It's a pretty bird with lovely colors. Nice pose and good details. I hope we both see something else exciting soon!

Hi Ulla

Although Bramblings do overwinter in the UK, I have never seen one - so thanks for showing me one. Good shot with nice colour and pose.

Like us here you see the return of migrating birds to nest up in your country, isn't it fantastic? I notice you've been posting many pictures of birds in your garden and the sight of the budding lilac feels so good! This bird is so beautiful, you have many unknown species to me and it is such a pleasure to look at them. Great details, beautiful surrounding, this little bird is well photographerd by a keen eye, thanks Ulla!

Hi Ulla

I too have had these as visitors as well... in a flock of chaffinches as well..

Great capture - better than I managed. they seem rather shy which made the one I had quite difficult.

You were lucky with branches as well.

Hi Ulla.
Once more very cute bird picture. I am impressed with your wonderful series. In this shot I like great DOF and level of sharpness of the nice set of twigs. Charming bird is looked among them perfectly. Smooth BG supplements the main subject very well. Its blurriness and colorfulness are so pleasant too. My compliments. Well done.
Alexei.
