The European peacock, more commonly known simply as the peacock butterfly, is a colourful butterfly, found in Europe and temperate Asia as far east as Japan. It was formerly classified as the only member of the genus Inachis (the name is derived from Greek mythology, meaning Io, the daughter of Inachus. It should not be confused or classified with the "American peacocks" in the genus Anartia; these are not close relatives of the Eurasian species. The peacock butterfly is resident in much of its range, often wintering in buildings or trees. It therefore often appears quite early in spring. The peacock butterfly has figured in research in which the role of eyespots as an anti-predator mechanism has been investigated.[5] The peacock is expanding its range and is not known to be threatened.

The European greenfinch or simply the greenfinch (Chloris chloris) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.
This bird is widespread throughout Europe, North Africa and Southwest Asia. It is mainly resident, but some northernmost populations migrate further south. The greenfinch has also been introduced into Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, and Argentina. In Malta, it is considered a prestigious songbird, and it has been trapped for many years. It has been domesticated, and many Maltese people breed them. In Hungary, it is threatened. It has just recently been recorded in Quetta, Pakistan.
Madame s'est installée sur la terrasse depuis quelque temps.
J'ai donc placé mon affût à roulettes ce qui ne l'a nullement perturbée.
Une colonie de moineaux est proche, elle l'a bien remarquée.
Elle est restée 6 heures sur cette branche à faire sa toilette et douze tentatives pour finalement capturer une proie. Cet oiseau est impressionnant par son comportement et sa patience. Tout en faisant sa toilette, elle gardait un oeil vigilant sur la colonie.
Thank you my friends for popping by.

The European Goldfinch is a highly coloured finch with a bright red face and yellow wing patch. Sociable, often breeding in loose colonies, they have a delightful liquid twittering song and call. Their long fine beaks allow them to extract otherwise inaccessible seeds from thistles and teasels. Increasingly they are visiting bird tables and feeders. In winter many goldfinches migrate as far south as Spain.
