Bullfinches regularly come into our garden to feed on Herb Robert seeds, of which they seem particularly fond. (I let the plant grow all over the place because I like the smell and the foliage and I like the bullfinches!) In this last spell of dry weather they have also been feeding on the lawn, in amongst the flowering, and presumably seeding, white clover. I say they, because often there are two males feeding together - one is brighter than the other so we wondered if the duller male was perhaps a non-breeding first year. Today they were both feeding in the rain in the back garden where they had located some Herb Robert amongst the fuschias - see pictures below of a wet bullfinch. The puzzle became even stranger a few weeks ago when there were no less than four male bullfinches feeding in the garden! I look forward to seeing some juveniles shortly (always presuming there are some females somewhere in the background!)
