Female Bullfinch - I havn't seen one of these for years! they seem to love the hawthorn berries. Keep an eye out for them in their small flocks grabbing berries from the tops of trees. The female bullfinch has a very pale coloured chest (above) compared to the male, which has a bright rosy chest - unmistakable!Might see some at the weekend - that's if the rain ever stops!!! Maybe we might have some unusual migrants blown in like the Wilson's Phalarope that was spotted in Slimbridge this week. I doubt we'll have any of those here!
Keep those eyes peeled peeps!
