Description

I haven’t lived in this part of the world for very long and last year I was still getting used to the kinds of birds that we might expect to turn up at the feeder. I was most surprised when a flock of pink(!) birds arrived in April – who knew that there was such a thing? Anyway, a little googling identified them for me as purple finches, although they are not really purple. I suppose pink finch sounds too girlie?
