The chaffinch is common to most English gardens and there are thousands of them in the UK.. The female is brown but the male has the most beautiful colours. He is easy to spot as he stands proudly in prominent spots to sing to his mate. They eat caterpillars, insects and vegetation.
Chaffinches are also abundant in Scandinavia but fly to England during the winter months because the UK has a milder climate.
The chaffinch is easy to spot and it is worth investing in a pair of binoculars to really capture its beauty. These birds like bird tables and will eat most things, so this is an easy way to attract them into your garden.
