Spotted
The European Greenfinch is a robust finch with a distinctive stout, conical bill, and striking yellow patches in its wings and tail. Males are largely olive-green, while females are duller but still show the prominent yellow flashes.
Where to spot
Widespread across Europe, North Africa, and parts of Western Asia. Found in a variety of habitats including woodlands, parks, gardens, agricultural land, and coastal areas, often near human habitation.
How to spot
Look for its stout build, olive-green plumage, and bright yellow wing and tail flashes, which are particularly visible in flight. Listen for its characteristic drawn-out 'dzweee' call and a trilling song with a wheezing quality.
When to spot
Observable year-round in much of its range where it is resident. Breeding activity is prominent in spring and summer, when males are most vocal. They often form flocks outside the breeding season.

The European Greenfinch is a very common and eager visitor to bird feeders, where its strong bill is perfectly suited for cracking open a variety of seeds, especially sunflower seeds.
