European Goldfinch
Carduelis carduelis
51.8898, 0.901235
Field Notes
Description:
A highly coloured finch with a bright red face and yellow wing patch.
Habitat:
They live in the trees above the tide line of the river near my house.
Notes:
I found a group of these males (about 5) in one area, all twittering away in a lovely song, and wagging around in some kind of display. They all seemed to be taking turns to sit at about 4 or 5 specific perches, and all would do their little display. I guess there were some females watching this little show, waiting to be impressed!
