Bullfinch

One of the highlights for me when visiting Pennington Flash is the almost guaranteed chance of seeing a Bullfinch. On Sunday I managed to see two pairs as they actively fed from one of the hides. They always take my attention, so I'm not going to say too much else about them but leave you to admire them too.




The less colourful female.

Tucking into a real feast.

    Wonderful birds! We had a lot of them in our yard when I was little, but now I don't see them that often.

    Great shots. We're lucky enough to have a male visiting our garden at the moment but I've yet to catch it on camera.

    Super shots Adam. I always think that Bullfinches have such skinny little legs for what appears to be a rather robust bird. Your photos show that feature so well.
