I think the top ones are a Brambling it says in the link I posted that they will travel with other finches during winter, I am not very good at birds.

What do I know, I think they look more like the Common Redpolls on the RSPB site. But I am clueless with birds.



They are blackbirds on the way to a fancy dress party
