Female Chaffinch - Fringilla coelebs

This is a lovely female Chaffinch – Fringilla coelebs – which is also known as the Eurasian Chaffinch or the Common Chaffinch. The Chaffinch is one of the UK’s most commonest breeding birds (the Wren being the commonest). They breed in a nest, commonly a deep cup in the fork of a tree, and have four or five eggs which hatch in about 13 days with the chicks fledging in around 14 days but still being fed by both parents for several weeks after. Seen at Martin Mere Wetlands.
