    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Another visitor coming for the sunflower hearts, they are well worth their money. Not great lighting but I think the shot came out okay

    most of my efforts are digi-scoped, using an opticron hr66 scope, pentax optio v15 digital camera and homemade adaptor.+ a panasonic lumix fz28

    stunning shot babs, do you not get the female coming aswell?. if you see a bullfinch, odds on the female will be close by. they constantly keep in contact with each other with their nasal call.
    my auntie still has a bullfinch ornament on her sideboard which i can remember as a small boy, some forty odd years ago. so i've always liked them.

    Thanks andy, yes actually the female appeared first but she was not as brave as the male and didn't come in as close, I do have some pics of her but not as good as the male ones
