Young Bullfinch

Young Bullfinch, originally uploaded by Laura Whitehead.

Every summer eagerly await the arrival of baby bullfinches. Heard one in the bushes last Friday, and the first appeared on the feeders on Saturday (a very wet day to be exploring the big outside world!).

Since then another youngster appeared yesterday, (we have 6 adults in the garden all in pairs, now along with 2 youngsters so far). Chubby and just like their parents enjoy munching endlessly on sunflower hearts.
