The Eurasian chaffinch is a small, lively bird found across Europe and parts of Asia. Males stand out with their blue-grey heads and rusty chests, while females wear more muted tones. These finches are often heard before they're seen, with males belting out songs from tree branches to woo mates.

  • Males have striking blue-grey caps and rust-colored chests.
  • Both sexes show white wing bars when flying.
  • Males sing loudly from high perches during mating season.
