The last few days has seen a cold spell of weather with some heavy frosts, -8 degrees at night and strong northerly winds across the UK have seen a movement of Bramblings into Dorset.
A large number of recently turned up here in Trent village, Dorset in the last 3days. Single male and female noted on the 17th at a private garden, 5 on the 18th, 3 on the 19th and today over 15+ birds frequently local feeders with a large Chaffinch flock.
Most likely Scottish/Welsh birds avoiding the cold spells up north, or mainland European birds on passge migrating northwards back to Scandinavia for the Spring.
Lets hope more turn up over the next week
