The first visitor to our garden in 2021 was this colourful bird - shame it would not look in my direction.

| Bullfinch |
I keep a spreadsheet of the type of birds that I see in my garden each day. I only saw the bullfinch on two days in 2020. The top ten of the 35 species seen were -
- Wood Pigeon - every day
- Rook - every day
- Gull - 79% of days
- Blackbird - 63%
- Starling - 63%
- Jackdaw - 51%
- Collared Dove - 45%
- House Sparrow - 41%
- Coal Tit - 40%
- Blue Tit - 34%
On average we saw 21 different birds each month and 8 each day.
My records go back to 2003/4 - but were less complete back then.
I wonder whether this bird will come back more than the once it visited in 2020.
