I was hoping to see the male Bullfinch in the garden this morning as both Mum & Trevor saw it yesterday, but I was not in luck. It was a miserable evening at Par, but the birds still managed to sing, even though they are starting to moult, which must be very uncomfortable and the weather was awful! My toothache got the better of me after about an hour and a half and I came home – I think the Abbot is secretly pleased though as I cannot open my jaw very far! Anyway, back to birds and we have a new family at Par so this post is dedicated to them…
