Bullfinches and Stock Dove in our Garden

From being a really scarce bird in our garden, a male Bullfinch recently found our feeders and today he brought his mate along for a treat.  Recently just the male appeared and I wondered if the female was incubating eggs.  This is very doubtful as the pair visited in very steady rain and any exposed nest would soon have got extremely wet.

Female Bullfinch - Preferring the Sunflower feeder


Male Bullfinch - Looking very bedraggled in steady rain in morning.



No doubt the same female visiting early evening when weather much improved. 

It spilled quite a bit of bird food under the feeder........

While directly under the Bullfinch this Stock Dove was feeding on the spilt food!
