Glasgow - Kelvindale
A male Brambling (Fringilla montifringilla) on a frosty branch in Glasgow. Bramblings are members of the Finch family and are winter visitors to this country. Interestingly, male Bramblings tend to winter further north than females, a behaviour also seen in Chaffinches. Therefore winter flocks may be formed of birds that are mainly one sex. Young birds also tend to winter further south than adults. This is known as differential migration and probably results from competition for food in winter.
