A wet and windy day spent indoors was brightened by the sight of a distant brambling from the bedroom window.
Actually, there were two bramblings among the chaffinches sampling the yellow berries of the rowan tree on the far side of the nursing-home grounds. I immediately filled the cleaned feeder that we haven't used since last winter and hung it out - but it was already late, and I might as well have saved it until tomorrow as darkness fell without any bird going near it.
