I returned to Burnham Beeches hoping for lesser-spots in the place where I had my last encounter, but I was unlucky.
However, there were plenty of chaffinches, and this was a nice way to get onto a brambling, hidden in the gloom of a holly. A bird seen a bit later from the front had the brownish head and plain face of a female.
A bit further on another bird high in a beech tree had the grey and black head of a winter male; so at least two bramblings were present in the woods this morning.
At home, a Red Admiral butterfly careered over the garden.
