BullFinches

[Stomperone]

At last... I have finally seen a bulfinch in the wild... In fact it was a pair of bullfinches. An added plus was that despite the poor light in the wooded area I was in I managed to get a couple of acceptable photos of them both.

I don't remember how long I have waited to see these birds so needless to say I am really pleased and to get photos as well really put the icing on the cake..

Great pic, I would love to see a Bullfinch in my garden.

I have the opposite problem. I see plenty in the wild - and they usually go about in pairs, but none in the garden

Used to see loads years ago...like song thrushes...been a long time since I've seen either.There used to be loads of allotments round here...hedges and fruit trees galore...all built on now...it must make a difference.

Bullfinches seem to be doing pretty well in my area this year. I have seen several groups of up to six birds at a time on a couple of my local patches.

Getting a decent photograph of one is something that I haven't managed to do so far though.

well done, they are my favourite bird and a joy to behold aren't they? We have a lot of them here at the park hall country park in stoke on trent (for any body who wishes to get a good view of them, also able to see them at carsington water.
