Eurasian Bullfinches

Artist Notes

Of course we have lots of bird feeders around the house, but if you want to do something extra for the birds in winter you can incorporate bushes in your garden that produce berries, fruits, hips and seeds. It became pretty clear today that the Panicled hydrangea apparently carries very delicious seeds – the Eurasian bullfinches have been patiently picking at them for hours. The female bullfinches are more difficult to spot among the withered flower bunches while the males on the other hand are rather flashy!
