Field Notes

Description:

Is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. The Chaffinch's large double white wing bars, white tail edges and greenish rump easily identify this 14–16 cm long species. The breeding male is unmistakable, with his reddish underparts and a blue-grey cap. The female is drabber and greener.

Habitat:

This bird is widespread and very familiar throughout Europe. I found this one in a forest.

Notes:

Beautiful birdsong.
