Greenfinch - Hebridean Birds
Western Isles Birds - Greenfinch. The greenfinch is a rather thickset finch - olive green with prominent yellow wing flashes.
These pretty birds are regulars in the western isles. They love sunflower seeds. The birds song is a mix of twittering notes.
The greenfinch is the largest yellow-green finch. These birds show us a wavering display flight in the spring which shows off their yellow wing and tail flashes.
Greenfinches are always on the move and they often spend time with other Greenfinches.
