Greenfinch

Greenfinch

Greenfinches are fairly common across the UK and are frequent visitors to our gardens. Their fortunes, however, have been mixed in recent years, with populations suffering periodic declines. Most recently this has been linked to trichomonosis, a parasite-induced disease which prevents the birds from feeding properly.

What is the difference between a Siskin and an greenfinch?

The Siskin is our smallest finch (similar in size to a Blue Tit). Siskins of all ages can be readily identified from other 'green finches' by two prominent black wing-bars that are separated by a wing-bar of varying shades of yellow, brightest in the adult male and palest in the juvenile.

Why are greenfinches endangered?

Greenfinch populations declined during the late 1970s and early 1980s but increased dramatically during the 1990s. A recent decline in numbers has been linked to an outbreak of trichomonosis, a parasite-induced disease that prevents the birds from feeding properly.

Is a greenfinch a songbird?

The greenfinch (Chloris chloris or Carduelis chloris) is a songbird common throughout Europe.
