Bramblings

Just wondering if anyone else has seen Bramblings recently? I'm 99% certain that one was feeding on the ground in our front garden last week but no time to fetch camera and only seen the once.

I would have described it as a rather odd looking male chaffinch but with a sooty black head, no white wing bars and a burnt orange breast, much brighter colour than the usual and not as pink as that of a bullfinch.

But there was just the one and the books say 'flocks'.
