Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Listen for the song. The male's distinctive song is often the first indication of a Chaffinch's presence, especially in spring and early summer. They sing from prominent perches.
2. Look on the ground. Chaffinches frequently forage on the ground for seeds and insects, often near the base of trees or under feeders.
3. Check bird feeders. They are common visitors to garden bird feeders, especially those offering sunflower seeds or mixed seed. They often feed on spilled seeds below the feeder.
4. Observe mixed flocks. Outside the breeding season, look for them in mixed flocks with other finches and buntings, particularly in fields or woodland edges.

Migrazione

Partially migratory. Northern and eastern European populations are largely migratory, moving south and west for the winter. Western and southern European populations are mostly resident or undertake short-distance movements. Males tend to be more sedentary than females and juveniles, leading to the species' name 'coelebs' (bachelor) as Linnaeus observed mostly males in Sweden during winter.
