Greenfinch



Can't think of the last time I saw one. Much the same as House Martins, we used to have a pair nesting at the front apex of the house every year when I was a kid but that stopped at some point in the 90's.
 
greenfinch like a brawl at the table with each other, plus very prone to infections from tables/feeders ( as are most finches ) , important to clean feeding stations regularly

Well posted mate.
Greenfinches are the most susceptible to bacteria from rotting food (nuts and seeds).
Sunflower seeds the best feed for Greenfinches. Don’t bother with Niger seed anymore as the Goldfinches love the sunflower kernels.
Had 2 pairs nesting in the garden this year.
