I think the male bullfinch is the most beautiful bird. I see him in my garden only occasionally. I have a rural garden in south west Ireland

@Bobblers07 Год назад

Pairs of bullfinch regularly enjoy the bird feeders in my garden close to woodland in Manchester UK. They also appeared daily through the winter. A male is currently on the feeder right now 😊

@Beak_to_lens Год назад

@jmunro-graham1568 Год назад

An other great video, Bullfinches are one of my favourites.

@danvenables4935 Год назад

They are beautiful tropical looking birds that you wouldn't expect to be UK native. I get them along with the occasional greenfinches to my garden feeder and those are my favourites. I had a great find recently though visiting St Aidans RSPB site, saw 3 black necked grebes which I'd never seen before. And the mum was carrying 3 chicks on her back, whilst the dad was diving for food and feeding them. They were so close up too so it was magical, and those grebe species have such enchanting colours with their red eyes. Not sure why they are so sparce compared to the GC Grebe (at least around Yorkshire and Derbyshire), so hopefully their numbers will start to improve and spread their territory elsewhere.

I’ve not seen a Bullfinch for over three years and I live on the edge of the countryside that’s a mix of arable, woodland, hedgerows, rough pasture and meadows. In fact apart from the now common sightings of Buzzards and Magpies, there’s not much in the way of bird life, whereas when I was younger every hedgerow contained bird nests and a plethora of avian diversity. Also not as many Swallows, Swifts or House Martens, this year, Cuckoos are now extinct in my area, not heard one around here for twenty years, though thankfully the Peak District which is only 15 miles away, is where I have to go to hear a Cuckoo.

@dexine4723 Год назад

I hear them more often than I see them, but caught sight of a pair today and the male's plumage was so vividly pink that I thought he was some exotic aviary escapee for a moment, until I saw him and his mate properly. They really are stunning little birds.

@nevillewalker6299 5 месяцев назад

I am pleased ri say we have at least two pairs in our wood visiting the feeding tables. They appear to be recovering from the disease which seriously knocked the finch population about a few years ago. Green finches are still rare here as a result

Brilliant, they are beautiful birds and it must be great to have them visit. I wonder if your winter visitors are migrants from further north or residents.

@oneoldgit Год назад

@@AShotOfWildlife They are certainly not as common after winter is over so maybe they are from up north

@Biffo1262 Год назад

We've two breeding paira of Bullfinch in our suburban Manchester garden for the last three years. We feed sunflower hearts, millet and mixed grain but the most important part of our garden is a shallow artificial stream and small pond. It attracts everything from Firecrest to Great Spotted Woodpecker. Flocks of Goldcrest have been increasing in size annually. We get occasional Long-tailed Tits and even the odd Brambling. Food is important to bird visitors but the pond and stream seem to be, by far, the bigger attraction.

@dexocube Год назад

You know I don't think I've ever seen one. Thanks Liam!

@clarsach29 Год назад

Having not seen bullfinches in years, I recently saw several of them when on a walk in nearby woods and was able to get quite close as they were engrossed in stripping buds off of bramble plants. Lovely birds and great to see them up close

@MyKharli Год назад

They decimate my damsons, plums and not so bad on my apples . Lovely to see but the rate they shred blossom and young buds is astounding .

@ronhall9394 Год назад

Just recently - last nesting season - we've seen Bullfinches at our feeder - at one point there were a few couples, I wondered if they were like Magpies and the new kids helped look after next years brood , very interesting and attractive bird. One characteristic I noticed were that they don't seem to be as nervous as most of the other smaller birds - we get a pair of Sparrowhawks 'checking out' our feeder and the Bullfinches don't seem to be as aware as the other finches to the threat of these predators - they just take their time and chew on those sunflower hearts as if they had no cares in the world.

@philiptaylor7902 Год назад

Super video Liam. It always makes my day when I see one, but I hear them a lot more than I see them, they are often hard to spot. We have wild plum trees round our house and they eat the buds all through the winter. No wonder fruit growers didn’t like them.

@johngeezer2470 Год назад

Hi i am new to videos and would like to say how much i enjoy them. I know you say almost everything you need to know but i am surprised you didn’t mention its white rump in your description. This makes it so easy to identify when in fight and fluttering around.

@miguelvicente3996 3 месяца назад

Amazing video! Did you know that in the São Miguel island in the azores, you can a closely related species called the Priolo (Pyrrhula murina)? It is unique to this island and only to a small eastern part of the island. They are quite friendly and fun to photograph. Cheers mate!

@williamrobinson7435 Год назад

A really pretty little wild bird..We know that so many birds have brighter colouring in the males than the females, and I think this must be evolutionary, in that the female is more likely to be susceptible to predation (carrying eggs and looking after young makes them more vulnerable) whereas males can gain advantage, in courtship and defence display by being more brightly feathered, and that they have evolved like this for those reasons.. Is this the case? Nice one Liam! 🌟👍

@joandoherty8909 Год назад

Just saw one on the back hedge. Flew away before I could get a picture 😢

@patricksmith4424 Год назад

Another great vid. I just wish these beautiful little birds were more common. You never see them in London where I live. Goldfinches are way more common. You are right they were seriously persecuted by fruit farmers. In a Norfolk Orchard once I saw some dead ones hanging from the trees.

@arlo0011 Год назад

They seem to be very similar in habits, feeding, pairing, etc to the Northern Cardinal that live here in Missouri.

@cerealkiller4248 Год назад

In our last small garden which was only 6m X 4m ( 20’ X 12’ for the oldies ) we had 3 pairs regularly feeding on our tables. Now we moved house in the same village just the other end, we have an acre but I’ve only ever seen a solitary male ☹️ My favourite small bird ❤️

@jerryssalamon709 Год назад

Great video! I owned a cage bred male that couldn't fly more than a couple feet. His wing was damaged while still in the nest, He was such sweet bird with a huge personality! He would sit on my shoulder while I fed the canaries and goldfinches. in my bird room. When he was really mellow or maybe sleepy, he would nibble my ear and make a kind gurgle or chortle noise.. I would love to own another and hand feed another to have just as a pet.

@angr3819 Год назад

Possibly he seemed sleepy because of pain from his wing. At least you gave him a chance and looked after him. Can small birds have painkillers from a vet? I don't know.

@mustashcolision Год назад

@domtekos7761 Год назад

@A Shot Of Wildlife ah yeah Norwich is where I'm from :)

@stevirobbo Год назад

Heres an extra little fact about the Bullfinch... The majority of eggs that hatch are around 10 - 1 males to females this is because the male is easy seen during the winter months due to his red colouring so is fair game for sparrowhawks etc so to combat this problem the female produces more male offspring to offset the balance 😊 good vid mate

@senianns9522 Год назад

Had these visiting my mothers garden in Co. Durham. Loved to see them but she told me they are very slow to evade cats! Sadly she told me she had found a few 'chewed up' carcasses!

@angr3819 Год назад

I have a cat but wouldn't have if we still had small birds in the garden. Rarely see them since four jee was installed! Rarely see even pigeons and gulls since they out up foive jee! Look up the megahertz. Enough when turned up to be classed as weapons. Foive jee by 3 times the megahertz required for weaponry. It has been used a military weapon and has no place not benefit in public communications. I am signed up to receive emails about planning applications from my district council, and am currently objecting to another foive jee tower being erected in Bognor. We also sew far fewer insects and worms, which is surprising as they generally spend most of lives in the earth.

I saw a whole flock of them for the first time when we had the 'Beast from the East' in the UK, I was in Leicester going for a walk and saw about twenty of them, they must have followed the weather, coming with the winds to the UK. Beautiful birds. I'm really intrigued also by their ability to sing and learn complex tunes.
