Bullfinch - dip

Early this afternoon there was a male Bullfinch in the garden, but briefly. Louise saw the swanky show-off feeding on the lawn, eating Nyjer with the spuggies, when I arrived home a couple of minutes later it was gone.

I'd been out counting rooks and then walking in Orphir. All very nice but I would have liked the Bullfinch a lot, not a common bird in the county, I've seen two I think whilst we've been here.

Earlier this week at work some of the children found this which I think is a hoverfly larva. A Tipulidae more likely, thanks Lee.
