Spotted
A vibrant, small finch with bright yellow-green plumage, typically found in mountainous and subalpine habitats. Its song is delicate and melodious, often heard in coniferous forests.
Where to spot
Restricted to mountainous regions of central and southern Europe, including the Pyrenees, Alps, and Carpathians.
How to spot
Search in coniferous forests and alpine meadows, especially near tree lines. Listen for its high-pitched, tinkling song and watch for its undulating flight between conifers.
When to spot
Spring and summer are best for observing them in their breeding grounds at higher elevations, where they are most active and vocal.

Unlike many finches that prefer lowlands, the Citril Finch is adapted to high-altitude environments, often breeding above the tree line in the Alps and Pyrenees, where it feeds on seeds from conifers and alpine plants.
