Lesley - be thankful you don't have bullfinches. They may be beautiful but are very destructive. In the Spring when their natural food of seeds has run out they turn their attention to your soft fruit bushes and will strip the buds in no time.
Stephen don't say the prefer apple. I bought six apple trees last year. I never seem to see much of them. Just in the spring when the buds are ripe. I have a pine forest right at the back of my house so I suppose that's where they spent most of there time.Very interesting link.Angie
