the unknown bird in the bush
becomes a brambling

  4. Polona - have you looked very closely at your chaffinches? The two are more similar than you expect!

    Dave - I like the name too

    UL - they're lovely little birds, happy 08 to you too

    i like how you went at the word from a different perspective.

    Your poem caused a flashback - a cardinal on a branch from the corner of my eye. Split-second stuff.

  12. paisley - now I'd thought of that and provided a crafty link to the RSPB page about the brambling!

    Linda - yes I didn't want to write about new years resolutions and was glad to find a different angle...

    mariacristina - cardinal - now there's a bird I'd love to see!

    janice, gautami, sb - thanks

    dale - well we don't get cardinals this side!
