I've not seen one. The main pink birds I've seen here in UK are Long Tailed Tits, Collared Doves, Chaffies & Bullfinches. I know Jays also exist, but I've only seen them when on holiday in Italy.

It's really funny to think about how very specific aspects are first mentioned in the print works at the most non-specific of times
"Oh yeah the Celestials are first told to exist in SaBND because Reimu mentioned them when talking about the bullfinches she summoned"

And we saw three bullfinches. 😁

And it's still not raining. I think it's about four hours now.

It makes such a difference to my mood.

Used to see finches-some the most beautiful🇬🇧birds I’d ever seen: Bullfinches. We’d see a pair yearly. Indescribably elegant. A few yrs back a disease swept thru that killed off nearly all finches inc Bullfinches💔they may’ve caught it as many did: fr/feeders. Took ours down. But we saw birds dying😢😔.

A furry raccoon girl called Amalika who looks embarrassed and slightly irritated wearing a red bunny suit and a headband with bunny ears. She is making a heart with her hands and blushing as she looks to the side. Her bunny suit includes black frills and she wears a black bow tie. Her shoulder-long hair is kept up in two ponytails. The background shows a pastel colored room with a pink door and pink room decoration as well as some plants. She is wearing makeup: red lip stick and yellow eye shadow. Traditional art made with alcohol markers. This art depicts an original character, Logos, with a big straw hat in a serene winter scene. His face is obscured and completely covered in shadows, but his eyes can be seen as two white glowing orbs. The background shows large evergreen trees with the leaves and trunks covered in snow. Some bullfinches are hiding in the trees or flying around. One of the bullfinches landed on Logos's hand, looking at him. Logos is also holding a staff with a circular tip. The sun is peaking through the center of his staff and in between tree trunks, covering surrounding area in warm light. Traditional art of an anthropomorphic raccoon girl dressed as a witch. She has a mischievous expression on her face and wears a big witch hat. She is surrounded by sparkles and little flames. A tall werelion man stands in a moonlit forest, looking cautious of something. His figure is quite dark and he is illuminated by the moonlight from behind. His yellow eyes stick out from his dark figure and black sclera.

Nice theme for #BirdOfTheDay, today: #BackYardBirds. Here’s a pair of Bullfinches, a fairly regular winter & spring visitor to our #Northumberland garden. Remarkably, one of 73 species I’ve seen in/from my small, edge-of-town garden.
A pair of Eurasian Bullfinches on a garden bird feeder. The male, on the left, shows its bright pink breast and jet black face; the female, on the right, is brownish-bush with the same black face and cap.

Home at last & the chilly, murky weather didn't keep us from a good 14k steps or more around the valley. Highlights were drake Goosander, a neat Siskin flock, a couple of Grey Partridge, 4 Red Kites, Chiffchaff & several Bullfinches too. Lovely 🙂

The ford at Glandford is always somewhere we stop at on our valley walks. Today, a flock of 15-20 Siskins zipped around the alders. One of my favourite views in the Cley square, looking south along the lake at Bayfield. The drake Goosander was still here plus a few dabbling ducks too. Looking from Hurdle Lane west nor'west towards Blakeney. The Hammer Hills path (another of our favourite walks) goes off to the right. Heading back along the valley towards home, looking towards Wiveton church.

One good thing about Long Covid making me allergic to berries is that I can fully enjoy watching a pair of bullfinches stripping all the buds off the fruit bushes 😀🌱

Bullfinch

Watercolour & watercolour pencils
Another no-sketch painting I did over the weekend. The watercolour pencils were great for adding some 🪶 details at the end.

A watercolour painting done over the weekend without a pre-sketch of a male bullfinch found in the UK. I have only seen one once outside my home. The background is a maze of thin tree branches and what looks like seeds or yet to emerge tree blossoms that bullfinches feast on.

Not a huge thing but it actually is to me. After living for decades in my home, I have never seen bullfinches in the garden and this morning I wake up to find two in my cherry tree. Two!!
Two bullfinches sit in a barren cherry tree. This is the first time I’ve seen these birds in my garden after living here for over twenty years.

At least 200 Fieldfares, 3 Bullfinches & 1 Grey Wagtail too. The River Stour continues to flood the meadows and ditches at rural Godinton Park.
