Bullfinches are lovely birds with their orange bosom and blue wings. A lovely haiku Tania.

Dear Tania, this little piece is such a delight, light on its feet and full of color. I love how the bullfinch arrives “chirpily,” almost like it’s announcing itself to the garden, and then slips into that snailflower moment as if the whole world suddenly softens around it. A bright magnetic, joyful write.
