Greenfinch - Carduelis chloris - Groenling and Willow Tit Parus montanus - Matkop
The Greenfinch is a familiar garden bird since it was one of the first species to master the knack of feeding from red peanut bags. The male can be quite conspicuously green but in females and juveniles this may not be so obvious. Such birds can still be identified though by the pale yellow panels in the closed primaries and in the sides of the tail.
Breeds in gardens, parks, scrub and hedges. Winters on farmland and in gardens.
A very common and widespread resident throughout Britain, although more localised in Shetland and north-west Scotland. In winter, the population is swelled by continental immigrants.
Widespread and numerous in most of Europe except Lapland.
The wintering population is though to be over two million birds. 12-15 million breeding pairs across most of Europe except the Scandinavian Highlands. |
