Description:

To hear his call, see attached video.
just noticed this curious comment in Wikipedia which in spite of living in Belgium I did not know:
"In Belgium, the ancient traditional sport of vinkenzetting pits male chaffinches against one another in a contest for the most bird calls in an hour."

Habitat:

Drumnadrochit (Scotland). Woodlands.

Thanks for liking this finch, guys! :-)
Absolutely gorgeous, Marta!! I love the video too!
Yes, this way you can recognize it in the woods before you see it because this call is very distinctive :-)
Thanks for adding the video, so we could hear his call. Handsome fellow.
