Common Bullfinch
Common Bullfinch / pyrrhula pyrrhula. Derbyshire. 20/06/18.
'STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE'.
As a diversion from orchid images ... (of which there are many waiting in the wings!), I thought I would share this understated beauty who I chanced across yesterday evening. She was perched in dappled light and looking up quizzically at her mate as if to say, 'Where to now?'
As monogamous birds, the male and female are never too far from each other except during the incubation period.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
