Bullfinch Greetings Card

Bullfinch Greetings Card

Many garden and songbirds have names which don’t appear to do them justice (check out the beleaguered wren and thrush) but the Latin name of the bullfinch – Pyrrhula pyrrhula – is one which really appeals to us!

An adaptable feeder, the bullfinch will eat buds and shoots in spring and, handily, has a special sac at the foot of its mouth to store food.  When a high protein diet for the family is called for, the bullfinch will find insects to feed its young.

Designed by the highly skilled artist Stephen Lennon, the Bullfinch greetings card is part of his Songbirds and Seedheads range.  All Stephen’s designs start as a drawing, often from life, and inspired and informed by his knowledge and love of botany, honed during his time as a nurseryman.  His cards are printed locally (he’s a Yorkshireman in exile, now to be found in Northumberland) and the production of them supports many small businesses.
