The Eurasian bullfinch, common bullfinch or bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula)

Beautiful bird! It is very interesting how the way of life of this bird changes with the onset of cold weather. In the summer, it is extremely difficult to see them in the forest. They move imperceptibly and do not reproduce sounds. I met them twice in the forest twice, and then it happened by chance. I saw the stirring of branches, there was a male with a female. But at the end of autumn, with the onset of cold weather and snow, they fly to people. They willingly visit feeders, eat sunflower seeds.

And only in winter they can be easily photographed in city parks and backyards. That's interesting! It's easy to take pictures of them in the city, and if they come to the forest, it's hard to take pictures of them, they're embarrassed! I do not understand anything at all! After all, there are a lot of people in the city, cars. And there's nobody in the forest. But they somehow change when they arrive in the forest.

I tried to hunt them for a long time, and it finally happened! This bullfinch sat on the snow and ate wormwood.
