The chaffinch
The chaffinch and the wagtail are the most common park birds. When you compare them with one another, you will quickly realize how different they are in terms of their structure and behavior.
The chaffinch is a seed-eater. This can be seen in its beak, which is sturdy and suited for cracking hard seeds. During the autumn, the chaffinch is in no hurry to fly south, as seeds are still widely available. However, the chaffinch is still a migrating bird. Chaffinches spend the winter in Western Europe, and return to Northern Europe in the spring.
When two chaffinches form a pair, they make a safe, hidden nest in a tree, usually a birch. The chaffinch feeds its offspring by bringing them insects and seeds.
