Mika,..exactly what i was thinking,..lets hope they don't stick to that diet or i will see less blossoms.
Elaine,..thank you!,..last year was the first time i came across Blackbirds eating the Fuchsia flowers,..this year its Cherry Blossom Buds,..i did think perhaps there were bugs there but they had the entire bud in beak,..we keep learning something new.
Ibis,..thank you!,..some are more colorful perhaps when more mature.
Margaret,..nice to know its a source of food for them and you satisfied my bewilderment as to what the Bullfinch was up to,..even though i could see a bud in beak i still wasn't convinced,..you seeing the birds eating buds and blossoms on your hawthorn and crab apple trees confirms convinces me,..as mentioned last year i couldn't believe what the Blackbirds were doing until i kept watching and could see them scoffing the Fuchsia blooms.
