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.
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.

Spectacular birds to watch & photograph.

Species: Merops apiaster.
Lesvos, Greece.
It is one of the most colourful birds in Europe. It spends winter in Africa. Although its name implies that it destroys bees, it does not seriously harm beekeeping, because, besides bees, it mainly consumes wasps and other insects - enemies of bees.
