Mr & Mrs Bullfinch
I'm hoping to improve on these but hey they're Bullfinches and that's what I was after. They seem to love the shoots on the little Japanese Cherry tree in the back garden. Unfortunately the tree is in shade and they don't come out into view very often.

I really like these. Not to mention I love how the branches really set it off.

Very shy birds and not easy to capture, yet to manage a decent shot of one of these.

So nice to know they are still around, I can't remember the last time I saw a Bullfinch. A lovely set.

Lovely - we've had a really weird influx of these in the lanes round here - flocks of 10-15, usually all males - have had heaps and heaps of them!
