Focus on Bullfinch

Bullfinch have been very prominent around the water margins at Stithians southern cut-off again today,  They are thriving on the abundance of seed heads of several species of margin plants and looking back through all my recent images I could not find one with a clean beak.  It was interesting to watch them work their way up the plant until they reached thin stems that bent this way and that under the weight of the feeding birds,  The bullfinch always wanted to reach the next one up the stem that sent both bird and stem crashing over,  No problem to the bullfinch which just hopped on to the next stem to repeat the exercise all over again,  With six birds on show it was not long before I was able to capture the male and female together in the pleasing portrait below.
