Spotted
A tiny, active finch with bright yellow plumage, particularly on the male's face and breast. It is known for its distinctive, trilling song, often described as a 'jingling' sound.
Where to spot
Widespread across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, favoring open woodlands, orchards, gardens, parks, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for them on the tops of trees or bushes, singing conspicuously. Its small size and bright yellow coloration are key features. Listen carefully for its buzzing, tinkling, and high-pitched song.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during the spring and early summer breeding season, when males sing conspicuously from prominent perches.

The European Serin's song is often compared to the sound of tiny bells or a string of pearls, featuring rapid trills and high-pitched notes, making it one of the most distinctive finch songs in its range.
