The chaffinch is the UK's second commonest breeding bird, and is arguably the most colourful of the UK's finches. Its patterned plumage helps it to blend in when feeding on the ground and it becomes most obvious when it flies, revealing a flash of white on the wings and white outer tail feathers. It does not feed openly on bird feeders - it prefers to hop about under the bird table or under the hedge. You'll usually hear chaffinches before you see them, with their loud song and varied calls.

These shots are quite brilliant Bob ! Love the expression as well as the whole composure , beautiful bird. Couldn't get the Santana video to work I am sure it was something wonky at my end, I will just image Santana music in my head .lol
He has a beautiful and subtle coloration. Great photos, and I appreciate the information on him--thank you, Bob. Oh--and Santana! Such great taste you have! X
BOB bonsoir c'est bien le pinson des arbres que je regarde trés souvent aussi chez moi Un oiseau avec de belles couleurs qui n'a pas trop peur de nous je trouve bise
Such a dainty little charmer. I am always fascinated at how well bright/strong markings camoflague so well when the bird has its head down and is ground feeding.
