Bullfinch

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.
