I don't believe this, and maybe you won't because I didn't get a photo, but I had a bullfinch on my feeder this morning. I have never, ever, seen one, anywhere. I could tell she was a bullfinch by her size and shape, but the colouring was wrong. Having looked her up, she is a female. Sadly, I was speaking on the phone when she arrived, which is why there is no photo, although my daughter must have wondered why I was shouting OMG down the phone! There is definitely something in my garden attracting finches and deterring tits! She perched on the sunflower hearts for less than a minute and then was gone. Fingers crossed she returns.
Cheers, Linda.

Hi Paul,
Sadly, she hasn't been back as far as I know. In fact almost all my finch collection has moved on. Even my goldies have done a bunk. Faithless creatures!!!!
Where's the loyalty thesedays eh?
At least you still have your feathered babies, lol
My Chaffinches did a bunk with my Goldie, not seen them for ages.
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
Hi Sparrow
Oh dear, I am sure that your finches will be back before you know it. I sometimes think it is weather dependent if finches use your feeders. It was a dull old day her and there seemed to be a lack of birds all around here {sad}
Dave and I are buying a second Nyjer Feeders this weekend to hang from our washing line next to our fat coconut/fat cake. It will give a chance for some photographs I hope {big smile}
The Nyjer Feeder at the back of our garden is being well used by Goldfinches, and I do not want to move it just incase we lose the Goldfinches feeding from it at the moment - the Nyjer seed is going down at a rate of knots at the moment.
So feeder no 2 coming into our garden area now
Regards
Kathy and Dave
