This is NOT the best stop action photo but I was so pleased to see this little bird a Greenfinch Fledgling only the second year I've seen them in my garden.....hopefully indicating their decline in the country due totrichomonosis, a parasite-induced disease which prevents the birds from feeding properly. That caused a marked decline in their population is now killing fewrer birds.
The Greenfinch~ Carduelis chloris Glasán darach in Irish, A robust finch, with large head, massive bill and shortish tail. The plumage of both sexes is a mixture of greens and greys with splashes of bright yellow - the female being duller, browner and showing faint streaks. The tail is forked, dark at the tip and centre and yellow on the sides. Bill very thick at base, pale, with a pinkish tinge. Legs slightly fleshy pink. In spring, sings from high perch or in wavering songflight over territory. Found mainly in farmland and around towns and parks. A common garden bird, often occurring in large flocks.
