You are an absolute gem

Beautiful little birds and lovely coloured speckled eggs. That single call is quite distinct. Thanks, great video 🪺.

Although I'm not a bird person as such, I find your videos very educational. Thank you 😀

I look forward to your shots of wildlife Liam, there is always new things to learn. Thank you

Beautiful birds, thank you for the video.

Love these birds one of my favourites,along with robins and blackbirds ❤

Thank you again Liam for a lovely educational video. Bullfinches are such pretty birds especially the males. ❤

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 😊

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.

Lovely birds - thank you!

I love your videos thank you. I love birds🐦

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

Fantastic information and content as usual ❤️👍

Brilliant,I really enjoyed it.

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

My favourite bird

Love it, great video as usual:) i would love to give u some footage! If you pick a bird i will happily get lots of footage for you! Have a good day:)

another exellent video thanks liam for sharing

I love these birds! Despite them being fairly common I rarely get to see them, and it's always exciting to do so.

Very informative, thank you !

Been waiting for this one, Thank you!...

Brilliant wee video. One of my top fav birds. Such a beautiful shy little short whistle.

Thank you for the very interesting vid on the life of the Bullfinch.👍

A popular bird also in Sweden. Thanks for sharing Liam and have a nice weekend! // Bertil.

I literally click like to all your videos because you seem like a nice guy and look like your having fun doing what your doing. That makes me happy ! Much luck my friend and keep up the good work !

Great video

Thanks for that. Now I know that the bird that has been making that single note sound all afternoon is a Bull Finch! 😊

Oh come on, so &+'+ adorable!!!! 🤭😄❤️I remember seeing these little dudes about when i lived in London. Loved hose bluetits and robins as well, so many cool birds in Europe

TY Liam.

Beautiful. Is there a particular park of UK that they can been seen easily?

Thanks bud, Brief, informative and relaxing, great watch 👍

We are so lucky to have these beautiful birds in our garden at the feeders....and now I know what that short tweet is...a bullfinch singing in the garden, thank you.

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.

Cracking little bird.

Suggestion for next video: Nightingale🤗

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

stunning

Beautiful beautiful bird..thanQ.

Just caught one hanging around my Apple tree. It’s a beautiful little bird and one can’t do much damage 😂😂😂

👍

19.5 inch wingspan. 1 foot 7? Should that be cms? Great videos thanks. Informative

I live in Denmark, Copenhagen next to the forest and I have around 5 bullfinches that have started to visit my garden everyday. They are so beautiful. 😍 Great video!

Saw one for the first time ever at Minsmere, don't get them very much in Essex

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 .

The bullfinch was on BBC radio Tweet of the Day today. You version was much more informative!

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!

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! 🌟👍

Had them on my feeders throughout the winter up here in NE Sweden

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Used to Love seeing these at my Nan's garden in North Norfolk. You from around there? I can detect the accent:)

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.

another fun fact is although there are absolutely none in north america there's a name for it in the cree language oskanêw (ooskanaew)

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!

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 ❤️

Criss Packam the next Gary Rhodes?

I've never seen one

Only 2 years. What a shame.

It's the bullfinch song

Can anyone tell me what seed they like so I can attract them to my feeders, I live in a semi rural area and have seen most native birds in my garden but never a bullfinch. Thank you.

I bred and hand reared a bullfinch he lived for 9 years, he was allowed out of his cage every evening and he come land on you and land on the dog's

This is bullfinch.

I very rarely see a bullfinch but they are special. You need to check your maths on the wingspan.

1:30 If they eat tree buds, shoots and flowers then they are really bad pests

No need for distracting music. We could be hearing the birds in the backgound instead.

im not sure, but to my ear it sounds like "uk" bullfinches make some different noises as "russians", ill put a link in the comments

Haven’t seen a Bull finch in years

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.
