Bullfinch

It's been a day of scrubbing the kitchen cupboards with occasional time off to try and capture the butterflies on the rockery.  Tony is close to clearing all of the allotment beds, another day should do it, and then the planting will begin.  My daily walk was through the village to drop off a birthday card at a Hobbler pal's.  It was the first time I have encountered more than a couple of people and it was like playing that game of squares in a frame where you have one square free and you move the others around till you solve it.  Everyone was patient and friendly, but then I twice passed two builders sitting have their lunch in the cab of their van.  Let's hope they live together.

I was fortunate to pass through the bedroom and spot a pair of bullfinches, infrequent visitors to the elder tree.  Here is the male, resplendent in his colourful plumage.
