Spotted by
A small, agile finch known for its melodious song and varied plumage. Often found in open country with scattered bushes and shrubs, it has adapted well to agricultural landscapes.
Where to spot
Widespread across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, preferring heathland, farmland, coastal areas, and scrubby habitats.
How to spot
Look for them foraging on the ground for seeds or perching conspicuously on bushes, wires, and fences. Listen for their distinctive, varied, and often rapid song, which incorporates trills and chirps.
When to spot
Year-round resident in many parts of its range; males are most colourful and vocal during spring and early summer.
