Bullfinch in the snow

With the so called 'Beast from the East' weather system arriving in Darley Dale yesterday I have not been far from home. 
This morning it looks like we have about 16 cm of standing snow and day time temperatures of -3 to -5 °C. I've put plenty of food out for the birds with many Siskin and a few Redpoll, which are scarce in the garden, putting on a good show. The Bullfinch however prefer the fresh buds on the hawthorn hedge which attract them in the late winter.
