Common Rosefinch

My friend Barrie had a juvenile Common Rosefinch in his garden in Burray Village this morning. It perched at the top of a dead tree for about 30 seconds before flying off but returned about 30 minutes later for a second showing.

This is the second time this year he has had this species in his garden and the second time I've been down and not seen it.

Still it was good to catch up on what's been about over a brew.
