Greenfinch

Greenfinch

The greenfinch is a common finch throughout Europe and Asia. This finch, 6 inches in length, has a stout, conical beak like that of other seed eaters. Tinged with green, the plumage has an olive-brown appearance. The wings of the greenfinch are edged by bright yellow feathers, as is the edge of the tail. Greenfinches are frequently seen in towns and villages where they live amongst homes and gardens. [BM] {FW}
