I've just had to google because I'e never seen one and didn't know what they look like.
Lucky you...they are stunning!

I'm glad you put a link up Mrs O as I didn't know either. They're very pretty birds.

Got loads around at the moment. They seem to like super market car parks, where the owners have planted native species of tree, such as rowans.

I have a good variety of bird life visiting my back garden but it's been a bit sparse of late as there is a sparrow hawk around.

I was lucky enough last week to get a Brambling on my feeder. It's also costing me a fortune in sunflower hearts.

Blimey, I've never seen one of those either.
