Bullfinches

We had some bullfinches in our garden today.  So what?  Well we seldom get bullfinches despite them being described as "a common garden bird", and it has been shown that the UK population is decreasing so when we do see them it is a great joy.
Usually they appear as small mixed-sex flocks of up to 20 or so.  Today it was a male and two females only. They gleaned the plants on the garden archway for insects and then in a trice they were gone, rapidly zooming across the open ground to the West. Now you see them now you don't!
