The bullfinch is a medium-sized finch known for its distinctive appearance. Males have a bright rose-red breast, grey-blue back, and a black cap, while females display a more subdued greyish-brown plumage with a similar cap. Both sexes feature a white rump and black wings with a grey-white wing bar. Juveniles resemble females but lack the black cap. Bullfinches are shy, often staying hidden in dense vegetation, and are recognized by their low, piping calls. They are widespread in the UK, frequenting woodlands and gardens.
