I had the joy of watching some Bullfinch recently in Norfolk. With such striking colours on the male you'd think they'd be quite easy to see, but unfortunately they are quite a shy bird and so don't make it particularly easy to spot them. Anyhow, I did see them and managed to get some nice images of them.
There is someone I know who is particularly fond of this bird, and I am sure before long you will catch up with them. So in the meantime, Avril, these are for you.
The female. Although duller in appearance to the male still a stunning bird.
And the unmistakable male.
This is such a colorful bird. Well photographed!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Such a shy species it is difficult to get photos like yours.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures - BF's are really chunky little birds.
