Bullfinch chick

We found a fairly large baby bird on the patio today, and after some serious searching through our bird books, decided it was a baby bullfinch.  Bev thought it had hit the window and was stunned, Kitty and us bears thought it was dead and therefore a tasty snackette.  But we were all wrong - it had got drenched in a sudden downpour and was just warming itself up.  So, when we all approached it - Kitty with his teef and claws, us bears with our knives and forks and Bev with a box - it flew away :-(

So we now have an entire Bullfinch family in our garden - maw, paw and the weans (well, one wean at least)!
