The Greenfinch are all year round visitors to my garden feeders, however during winter the numbers rise dramatically with 30-40 visiting daily. Currently around a dozen are feeding mainly on sunflower seeds.
The Greenfinch is 15 cm long with a wing span of 24.5 to 27.5 cm. It is similar in size to a Housesparrow but is mainly green, with yellow in the wings and tail. The vividness of the green can vary between individual birds The female and young birds are duller and have brown tones on the back while the juveniles are often heavily streaked on the breast. The bill is always thick and conical.
