Hi guys,
Just thought I'd share some photos of a pair of Bullfinches that visit my garden every day! Anyone else get them?
Cheers,
John

I had a pair the other day, and I get a few in the winter but not regularly. A great treat when they do come though.

Can't beat 15, but up to 3 sometimes visit us, usually in the spring nibbling the new shoots on the neighbours fruit tree and sometimes on our black sunflower seeds.

Yes it certainly is. I used to live in a cottage on farmland and built up a very healthy number of many birds. The fifteen we got consisted of quite a few juvs aswell.

I dont think i've ever seen that many Bullfinches together. Most i can recall seeing is about five or six (also a family party).

My mum (chester) gets a pair visiting regularly, I very rarely get them, although a male has popped in twice over the last couple of days.

The male has popped in virtually every day this week, on thursday he brought his missus with him, hope they stick around!
