"Bullies" return again

At 8.05am, 8.35am and 9.10am the pair of Bullfinches were again feeding on the buds of the Cherry tree at the back of the garden. Initially the female Bullfinch was to the fore, but later it was the male Bullfinch at the front. They flew off when yet another dog walker with a luminous jacket walked past (see 27 Jan post at Oulton Broad). But they returned about half an hour later.
A few minutes later, a Jay flew in and briefly perched on the tree.
On Saturday 29th the RSPB the 1 hour garden birdwatch was a little disappointing, but only counting birds seen in the garden I counted 1 Greenfinch (usually have more of these but I have temporarily run out of sunflower seeds), 4, Chaffinch (2 male, 2 female), 2 Wood Pigeon, 2 Collared Dove, 2 Great tit, 2 Blue tit, 2 Robin and 2 Blackbirds.
