Bullfinch
The bullfinch is a sturdy-looking bird, with a deep belly and a short
blunt beak. The male has blueish grey on the top of its wings with a red
breast, while the female is more demure with a light brown colouring.
In the spring you can see them devouring tree buds, snacking on seeds,
or collecting insects for their young. Watch out for them in woodlands,
orchards and hedgerows, or listen to hear their mournful call.
