Christmas is full of surprises – and hopefully most of them are nice! This afternoon, in half-hearted light, dwindling down to a reluctant dusk, I peered out of the window to see a little visitor. Perched on the guttering helping to drain our garden rocked a beautiful male bullfinch stealing a drink from this man-made fountain. Grabbing a camera I managed to get a few frames of this lovely scene, albeit in rapidly fading light, through the window. What a beauty! – and what a fantastic surprise!!
