Chaffinches can be found anywhere on the estate, although not as common as some of the garden birds, they are present all the year round. Chaffinches are normally ground feeders and you often see them rummaging around in the leaves underneath trees, or even under tables in the cafes.
The Chaffinch is one of the few garden birds where the plumage is very different for the male and female (known as sexual dimorphism). The female (below) is a subtle yellow-brown, but the male is a bright orange/pink.
