Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) |
My favouite bird and easily our most beautiful
native bird. I have the great fortune to be able to get very close to
them at Pennington flash where they readily visit the feeding station
and nest in the surrounding area. During the winter months there can
be up to 2 dozen birds visiting at any one time. Normally in the wild
they are very shy, reclusive birds |

The photo above shows the male and female Bullfinch
in winter plumage. In the summer the males breast (right) is much more
colourful. Their preferred food at the bird table is sunflower seeds. |
