It would be nice if you got them nesting in your garden in spring Eric.

It would be nice, Jan. We have thick bushes in the garden to say nothing of the thick hedges on three sides so plenty of sites for them

Sounds good habitat for them Eric. Hopefully they may even nest close by.

Yesterday the bullfinches seemed to take to the seed feeder. At one point there were six but I only managed four in one shot.

The 3rd photo down is just brilliant.

I also love the Blue Tit peeping around the feeder with an evil look :giggle:

Thanks Ann and Paula, Bullfinches seem to be more common in our garden than Sparrows or Thrushes which we rarely see.

I bet there aren't too many gardens where Bullfinches outnumber sparrows etc.
