Finches and Buntings - The Greenfinch

First seen on Saturday 28th January 2023 at Cragside

The greenfinch is very common bird to see on feeders. They often hog the feeders and fend off other birds while they gorge themselves. Here you can see a female. Unlike the yellow/green male, she is quite a dull green/brown. She was however calling and a greenfinch call is quite distinctive, a nasal "dweeez".
