Bullfinch

The bullfinch is a colourful bird that lives in different habitats depending on the season.
In the spring and summer, it prefers to stay in lowland areas with plenty of trees and shrubs, such as woodlands, orchards, hedgerows, and gardens.
In the autumn and winter, it may move to higher altitudes or more open areas, such as fields, moorlands, and coastal regions, where it can find seeds and fruits to feed on.
The bullfinch is widely distributed across Europe and Asia, and has been introduced to New Zealand and the Falkland Islands.

The bullfinch is a small bird with a thick bill and a short tail.
It belongs to the finch family and lives in woodlands, hedgerows and gardens.
The male bullfinch has a bright red chest and belly, a black head, wings and tail, and a white rump.
The female bullfinch has a dull brown chest and belly, a grey-brown head, wings and tail, and a white rump.
Both sexes have a black eye stripe and a grey bill.
The bullfinch feeds on buds, seeds and fruits, and has a soft, whistling call.
