Bullfinch - For Mum!

Cultural Transmission - The ability of a species to learn from one and other.

Just ten days ago the House Sparrows started visiting the garden. One became two which came half a dozen, and then they brought in the Goldfinches. I have six of them now. The new Garden ticks kept on coming, I've had a Greenfinch in the garden, and just before tonight Springwatch I had the first Coal Tit. The Great Tit is a regular now. It has been utterly remarkable to see the garden transform in a very short space of time.

In the past twenty four hours the ante has really been upped with one of the golden grails of garden watching arrived. A stunning male Bullfinch. It is literally a late arrival as I don't see it in the day, and it drops in from about 5 o'clock. It was a little bit gloomy, and this was taken through the patio doors, but it's not bad is it!

I dedicate this blip to my mum, who's garden has made me jealous since I left Llantwit Fardre, it took some time but we've got there in the end!

Feed Them And They Will Come ...

Today's rejected blips.....

Thanks For The New Feeder Dad!
