Tweet Take 5 : Bullfinch

An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring with Michaela Strachan, Chris Baines and Samuel West.

As one of Britain's most colourful birds, it is somewhat surprising that bullfinches are quite shy and illusive. These stocky finches enrich a winters day with the males bright red feathers, though in spring they were less than welcome in orchards due to their preference for fruit blossom. The days of a bounty being paid for every bullfinch caught are now history. Instead we enjoy their song or that flash of white as they fly away from the viewer, as do wildlife broadcaster Michaela Strachan, Professor Chris Baines and actor Samuel West in this extended edition of Tweet of the Day.
