[Leica] OT: Bird ID and habits - Help needed - Gerry

[Philippe]

Thank you Gerry, a female bullfinch it is indeed :-)

Knowing this will help me search the net for more on the cause as I don't think she would be attracted by another female … or is she trying to fence a virtual rival off ???

Thanks again for your very helpful contribution.
