male Brambling on frosty branch, Glasgow 01161 16 Glasgow - Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat A male Brambling (Fringilla montifringilla) on a frosty branch in a Glasgow garden.

Male Brambling on frosty branch, Glasgow 13929 370 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. 13 December 2010
