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.
We took advantage of a break in the rain to get out for a walk.
I was happy to find this European Robin singing in the trees.

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.
I see large flocks of them descending on any plants left with a berry or seed in sight

A European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) at its nest cavity in an old tree in Lake Newell Park in southeastern Alberta, Canada.
An introduced species from Europe it is doing quite well to the detriment of some local species of birds.

Trying to catch Butterflies now that summer is here. I also posted a shot of what I think is a Tawny Crescent.
Fort Saskatchewan Prairie, Alberta.
First brought to North America by Shakespeare enthusiasts in the nineteenth century, European Starlings are now among the continent’s most numerous songbirds. This little murmur (this is only a few from that flock) flew through our pastures some weeks ago and I got a good look at them when I took this shot. I was surprised to see that each of them was distinguishable from the other!
