Bird: Greenfinch / Groenling / Chloris chloris
Three Thing You Might Not Know About the Greenfinch:
Greenfinches have expanded their habitat to include gardens: Originally, greenfinches were primarily found in woodland areas and forest edges, rarely venturing into farmland or human habitation. However, in the early 1900s, they started visiting gardens, potentially due to increased food provision in those areas.
Greenfinches exhibit varied breeding behaviors: While most greenfinches in the UK are sedentary and do not move far from their breeding grounds, some individuals undertake longer migrations, spending their winters in Ireland or continental Europe. The decision to migrate seems to be driven by factors such as high breeding densities or food shortages during late summer, rather than annual weather conditions.
Greenfinches are sociable birds: Greenfinches often feed in the company of other ground-foraging species, such as tree sparrows, linnets, yellowhammers, and reed buntings. They can also form flocks with other finches during the winter months, roaming the countryside and parklands in search of food.
