Bullfinch

While out feeding my hens this morning I noticed a small group of Bullfinches, eating through new and fresh buds on my Blackthorn hedge.  I ran in for the camera and got the shots below.  At this time of the year Bullfinches travel through hedgerows eating up many new blooms and can cause problems to fruit trees and bushes.  Covering your black currant bushes and other fruiting plants is highly recommended to prevent loss of future crops.
