Female Bullfinch outside my window

[turlough]

This afternoon a small flock of Bullfinches (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) visited the maple outside my window and I managed to take this photo sequence of one of the females.

First she was crunching a seed

then she digested it


and then she started looking for another seed.

What great close ups of her :)

I was amazed by how well these turned out. Usually photos I take through my window end up being a bit pale and out of focus.

Oh wow, I didn't realize it was thru your window, I missed that!

Thank you! I'm amazed how well they turned out despite being taken through my none-too-clean window.

Great shots. She's camouflaged nicely!

Thank you! Yes, the females almost disappear into the background in winter. Not at all like the males who are bright red :-)

Aw, glad she's finding seeds!

I was quite suprised to see that it was the maple seeds they were nomming on and not the seeds in my bird feeder like I thought at first.
