Common chaffinch — size comparison — facts and sources
The common chaffinch inhabits European and neighbouring forests, parks and gardens. Males have bluish heads and rusty-pink underparts; females are duller. Both have pale wing bars.
It seeks seeds and invertebrates ashore and in treetops. Males repeat characteristic spring songs advertising territory, with regional dialects. Post-breeding flocks form and some populations migrate.
