Bullfinch in my garden............................... I managed to capture a few images

 When we first spotted the male Bullfinch on the feeders the nearest thing to hand was the camcorder.

 I managed to capture some video clips through the window.
(please scroll down to view the last two posts)

The Bullfinch returned again yesterday evening and I managed to grab the camera for a few images... 
...as I said in the earlier posts this was only the fifth time I have seen a Bullfinch in my garden in nine years.
A lovely little bird to see in the garden.

Congrats on the great pics of the Bullfinch. I know these guys excite you when they come to your feeders. Pretty exciting event when something special pops in at the feeders.
