The Brambling: Close Up HD Footage (Fringilla montifringilla)

The Brambling is a small finch with a fairly rounded body and thick bill. These birds breed across northern Europe and Asia, migrating southwards in winter to places like the UK. Bramblings often gather in big flocks with other finches to feast on beech nuts, seeds and berries. The male has a striking black head and back with reddish-orange breast in summer. In winter, the colours are more muted browns. Females lack the bright colours year-round. Bramblings nest in conifer trees, laying 4-7 eggs. Sadly, numbers have declined due to habitat loss on their breeding grounds.
