Chaffinch (Female) - Fringilla coelebs

This, the female Chaffinch - Fringilla coelebs - is the duller of the sexes with the male being much more colourful (the male will come along in the next couple of weeks). The Chaffinch is one of the most widely seen birds in the British Isles and although predominantly a woodland bird, they have adapted to a wide variety of habitats. They are mainly ground feeders taking seeds, fruits, grain and insects but are also happy to visit bird tables for any offerings available. They are also known as the 'Batchelor Finch' because the males will spend the winters near their breeding grounds but the females will often migrate further south. Seen at Pennington Flash.
