One of the birds that is not sighted oftenly in my father’s garden is the greenfinch. In fact, I have only spotted one on 2-3 occasions in the year that I have been living here. I was lucky enough to grab a few photos of this bird however…
The greenfinch is also known as the green linnet, though it is larger in size than the regular linnet at 15cm. The yellowy stripes are not always as vibrant and the female is not as bright as the male.
The greenfinch is common to the entire country of England and consumes insects as well as weed seeds.
The nest of the greenfinch is made of grass and moss as well as twigs and feathers and is usually to be found in a hedge, bush, or small thick tree. They lay around 5 eggs between April and July each year, and these are creamy with dark reddish brown spots.
