Chaffinch
This auburn-bellied finch is one of the most common birds
in Britain and Ireland. You won’t see it on top of your bird
table though – instead, look down for a chance to see
one hoovering up dropped food or hopping around at the
bottom of hedges. The males have a strong red breast
while the females are a pale brown, but if you can’t spot
them listen out for their loud, varied calls.Chaffinch
