The Bullfinch, Common Bullfinch or Eurasian Bullfinch, Pyrrhula pyrrhula, is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.

This bird breeds across Europe and temperate Asia. It is mainly resident, but many northern birds migrate further south in the winter.

Mixed woodland with some conifers is favoured for breeding, including parkland and gardens. It builds its nest in a bush, (preferably more than 4 metres tall and wide),mature stands of scrub, or tree, laying 4-7 eggs. The food is mainly seeds and buds of fruit trees, which can make it a pest in orchards. If wild bird cover is planted for it,Kale, Quinoa and Millet are preferred, next to tall hedges or woodland.

This species does not form large flocks outside the breeding season, and is usually seen as a pair or family group.

The Bullfinch is a bulky bull-headed bird. The upper parts are grey; the flight feathers and short thick bill are black; as are the cap and face in adults (they are greyish-brown in juveniles), and the white rump and wing bars are striking in flight. The adult male has red underparts, but females and young birds have grey-buff underparts. The pleasant song of this unobtrusive bird contains fluted whistles.

superb Mugurarul !
eu nu am reusit poze bune decat cu femela. f mult mi-am dorit sa fotografiez masculul ca si tine insa nu am reusit. in salbaticie sunt si foarte speriosi. se pare ca altii au fost mai norocosi. :)

l-ai facut in parc sau in zona salbatica ?

Hello Nemes,
Wonderfully sharp detailed image of this colorful bird.
Good POV, light, BG, and composition.
Well done.
Best regards Siggi

Foarte frumoasa compozitia, pasarea nu este acoperita de crengi si se vede foarte bine specia,felicitari!(Am facut un workshop, sper ca nu te superi pe mine, si poate iti place...)

Un mugurar foarte fain! Tinand cont de crengile care il inconjoara, asta era cam singura ipostaza din car il puteai fotografia bine si ai reusit sa o faci! Felicitari! Pacat ca in ultimul timp numarul mugurarilor s-a redus dramatic, principala cauza fiind , se pare, omul!

greeting lou

Felicitari pentru aceasta fotografie frumoasa!
Este binevenit interventia lui S.A.!
Intr-adevar, specia este din ce in ce mai rara, si in locul speciei nominale care cuibareste si la noi, apare o subspecie nordica, cu voce metalica!

Hi Nemes.
I am very pleased with your visit and nice comments and opportunity to meet your cute gallery. You have shared a nice, very colourful picture of a wonderful bird. Captured scene is so attractive. Tree branch which surrounds the bird as well as the main character of the shot create a pleasant for look pattern and scene at whole. TFS and kind regards.

Hi Nemes,

A beautiful capture of this Bullfinch, another bird I have not seen "in real life." The colors are so deep and rich and the details are nice and sharp. I love how the leaves match the bird's plumage. A beautiful setting, wonderful blue sky, and excellent diagonal composition.
