This is James. He's a Eurasian Bullfinch (
Pyrhula pyrhula), or Goudvink. He's been coming to visit me every day for the last few weeks. He usually drops in just after lunchtime and stays a while. I don't know why, but when I think of the name James it makes me think of people who enjoy eating. And this little fellow is no exception. He sits for 10-15 mins. at a time feasting on sunflower seeds, which might explain his wide girth. James has a
big belly! He doesn't talk much though. In all the times we've met, he's never uttered a single word, not even a chip note. All he does is EAT! He has a girlfriend, but he doesn't bring her around very often. She may be nesting or she may have hooked up with another male since James is too busy stuffing his face and not paying attention. At any rate, I'll be sad when it comes time for my friend to go. He's a man of few words. But with his spectacular plumage I guess he doesn't have to say a thing.
