A pair of bullfinches (Mr and Mrs) have been regular visitors to my garden for the past few years, once, I did think I saw two pairs, but was not quite sure as they are such timid secretive birds.
However with the weather being so bad this week with all of the snow, I have seen my two bullfinches feeding regularly for longer periods each day which has been a great pleasure as they are such stunning birds.
Hubby called me from the kitchen this morning to tell me there were lots of them 'salmon' birds in the garden, oh I said they will be the chaffinches ! (thinking he was mistaken as he is not great with identification)
The chaffinches, green finch and gold finch are always in abundance) nope its that other bird that you like to see he said, naaa says me, it will deffo be the chaffinches I told him, come and look, he shouted, so up I get and there in my garden are TEN bullfinches!
I could not believe me eyes! :o
Five males and five females, what a fabulous sight that was ;D
