I'd not come across this one of his before, it's a cracker! Where did you come across it? I don't think it's in the book The peerless eye or in the Thiel Gallery in Stockholm.

I came across it a few years ago on an auction site... it's in a private collection, I believe https://www.bukowskis.com/en/auctions/605/439B-bruno-liljefors-winter-landscape-with-bullfinches

Thanks, a bit beyond our pocket however. Wonderful to see this work though.

We’ve had the pleasure of 2 pairs visiting us since late November

How fortunate you are - I see them so rarely these days.

Lovely. There is a Japanese feel to it, I think. I haven't seen a Bullfinch in decades.

He was very inspired by Japanese art.

I'm glad I picked up on it.

That is a shame - try a well grown canalside hedge in the Midlands or Yorkshire. We have them on our allotments at times and I see them occasionally going into work along the canal.

I don't get around like I used to. So am limited to small gardens really. I do get to see some birds, and of course, I live vicariously through all the posts on here.

Sorry to hear that Andy. I hope the small garden bring you some interesting birds this year.
