We've got Bullfinches in our garden.

That's nice isn't it?</p>

 

Nice Birds not many round Barnsley

We only get Spuggies.

RE: Nice Birds not many round Barnsley

Either the colour saturation on that photo is wrong and both birds have just shaken or they are Northern race Bullfinches. If that's what you have in the garden Windy you're going to have a garden full of twitchers.

 

fantastic your lucky we get not in ours anymore

 

It is indeed....

we have got a lesser spotted woodpecker too

 

BTW they were collecting dog hair so they must be nesting somewhere close. nt

 

had 4 magpies at once, robin, sparrow, blackbird and a red kite in ours.

 

saw a pike today

was massive - about the size of a cricket bat. Just chillin in Leeds canal. Never seen one before.

Didnt fancy dipping my foot in put it that way.

 

thats only a bay and they wont hurt you. You big puff.

Bullfinches, Chaffinches, bluetits , great tits, yellow hammers,siskins

wagtails both pied and grey in abundence, suggest you all go out walking yer dogs more and open yer eyes

 

It certainly is

I'd love to see them in the wild. Heartening to know they are so close.</p>

Meanwhile, here in Chaffinch Land..........</p>

 

lol

whats a bay? never heard of it!

You dont think i saw a pike then?

 

like baby but i cant type! Pike in the UK go upto just under 50lb. One a cricket bat size maybe 8-10lbs top and would have been male.

 

Jack n'est pas? nt

 

I had one similar to this that turned up in the garden last year - poor thing though was obviously struggling and pegged it. Not seen any before or since. got blue tits nesting this year and see other finches as well.
