Finch News

All winter we had 5 or 6 Goldfinches pigging out on the nyger seed. They must have moved on to nest elsewhere as they haven't been around for a while [even though the weather is doing a great winter impression]. Today we were treated to a pair of young Bullfinches feeding outside the kitchen window. The male is the most beautiful of birds and it is a real treat to have them so near. The photo shows again why I am not a wildlife photographer but you get the idea.
