chaffinch
Common garden finch
A chaffinch is a small European songbird with a distinctive reddish-pink breast and white wing bars in males.
Common in gardens, woodlands, and hedgerows, it's one of the most abundant birds in Britain.
The name comes from its habit of foraging among chaff in farmyards.
