Bullfinch through the window

Blackbird prints in the snow

What a thrill to see a pair of Bullfinches in the hedge yesterday. This photo doesn't do this rosy bird justice, as it was taken through a misty window. The female was busy hovering over the shrivelled blackberries dangling on the  bushes, taking the tiny seeds from it. A good reason to let blackberries be, and not tidy them up in Autumn. The female doesn't have the stunning colour of the male and is less easy to identify.
