It forages under the bird feeders on mixed corn, sunflower hearts, peanuts, niger and fat
balls. It wasn't seen again until 1st December 2013. One
other village resident has also noticed it (about 150 metres away). The photos below were taken during
Garden Birdwatch on 25th January 2014. Since then, Trevor has seen it on 3 other occasions.
The
bird is more dominant and aggressive to both male and female Chaffinch if very
close, but otherwise tolerates their company. Trevor says that it seems
to “glow” because of its colouration – very striking rump colour when in flight.
