The male Eurasian Bullfinch - Pyrrhula pyrrhula - is a striking bird, being much more brightly coloured than the female. Also known as the 'Common Bullfinch' or simply the 'Bullfinch' (as it is the original bird to bear the name Bullfinch), it is a normally shy bird, living in woodland and forests but is also be found in hedgerows and even parks and gardens as long as there are trees (or feeders) to feed on and dense vegetation to nest in. They can be a pest because of their habit of eating the buds of fruit trees in spring causing crop shortages. (In England, for centuries, every parish would pay a bounty for every Bullfinch killed. Thankfully that is not the case now). In other seasons they eat mainly seeds, insects and buds of late flowering trees and shrubs. This perky little fella was giving me his best Penguin impersonation (and showing off a dusting of yellow pollen on his chest) at Pennington Flash.
