Mrs Pope (Pyrrhula pyrrhula)

The Norwegian name for Bullfinch is Dompap - Dom means cathedral and pap means pope or cardinal. This is for the bright red vest and the black "skull cap". But contrary to church teachings, our "cathedral popes" are married ;)

Beautifully framed by the branches and stands out well with that backdrop girl.
 
She is framed so nicely, Ann, and what an interesting narrative.
