These quite stunning birds are usually very shy, but it seems a family has found my bird table and are stuffing their faces! They tend to fill their crops and fly away, I guess to bury the sunflower seeds. They are beautiful, but they scare the smaller birds, so I find myself scaring them away when I see them feeding. They tend not to be here in the winter, so maybe I am being a bit mean!!
So where's the snow?
