Bullfinch  (Pyrrhula pyrrhula)

The bullfinch is distributed throughout Britain, but is scarce in the extreme north and west. It is found throughout central and northern Europe from the Atlantic coast of Western Europe and Morocco to the Pacific coasts of Russia and Japan. In the south of Europe it tends to be a winter visitor (2).

Found in plantations, woodland, gardens (2) and farmland where it is associated with scrub and untrimmed hedgerows (3).
