Its taken me years to get photos of a Bullfinch. Always see them on the same trees in the garden from the end of January on.
Could never get near them.

A bit of an anti-climax after that stunning photo from vistafinder - but just to say I'm happy that I still have 4 male reed buntings and 1 female visiting regularly during the day:)

Male and female here

I spotted about 5 or 6 pairs of Bullfinch on a walk today. I normally only come across 1 pair at a particular point on this walk.




Golden Plover




Smooth Newt




Frogspawn - There were a few frogs in the water, and the remains of a few more lying on the bank.
