Chaffinch on the ground

No dead trees here, just a male chaffinch looking for 🪱.

That's a nice crisp and vivid photo :) You've got sunlight - that beats dead trees!

Finches, such as the chaffinch, tend to eat seeds - thus the thick short beak for crunching them - but they will eat insects, etc.

Thanks! Interesting insight, as I still have near to zero knowledge on any wildlife I encounter, particularly birds ;)

Is a chaffinch related to a plain finch?? Is it a fancy finch?

He thinks he’s fancy, for sure!
