Chris Baines on the Bullfinch
Naturalist and environmentalist Chris Baines welcomes the often maligned bullfinch into his garden to dine on his fruit tree buds.
The striking-looking bullfinch is the subject of today's episode with naturalist and environmentalist Chris Baines. It is one of the birds he hears and encourages into his 'wildlife-friendly' garden. In the past, bullfinches were persecuted for their fondness for fruit tree buds but as far as Chris is concerned, this is a small price to pay to have a pair of these beautiful birds visit his garden.
