Greenfinch (juvenile) - Chloris chloris

Greenfinch (juvenile) - Chloris chloris
The European Greenfinch - Chloris chloris - is a common bird in the UK, Europe, North Africa and Southwest Asia. Greenfinches rely on seeds and, because they have a large and strong beak, they are able to eat a large variety. Because of their colouring, they can be difficult to spot in the foliage of woods and hedges but luckily they are quite at home in gardens and parks where they love to feed on seed mixes and Sunflower seeds and kernels from feeders. This is a juvenile but the male is olive green with a yellow flash on the wings and tail, the female is grey-green with less yellow. This one was seen from a hide at Martin Mere Wetlands, Burscough, Lancashire.
