I regularly receive these two beautiful visitors to my little wild garden, especially in winter when they really brighten the day. The ash twigs were drawn from live branches on trees growing down my road.

A little poem:
With beady eye and cheeky stance, a bullfinch needs a second glance
With breast of salmon pinky red, and inky black cap on his head
In bulging ash buds black as coal, a mate would make his life so whole…
…Beneath the loud and raucous male, in gentler vest the lady pale
On twigs below seems unperturbed by antics up above—absurd!
She waits so patiently and calm, and hopes he doesn't come to harm.
