Common Rosefinch
The Common Rosefinch is the most widespread and common rosefinch species of Europe and Asia. The male has brilliant rosy-carmine head, breast and rump, heavy bill, dark brown wings with two indistinct bars and a white belly. Females and young males are dull-coloured with yellowish-brown above, brighter on the rump and greyer on the head and buff below.
The Common Rosefinch can be found in summer in thickets, woodland and forest edges near rivers and in winter in gardens and orchards, wetlands and locally in dry oak woods.
The Common Rosefinch breeds throughout eastern Europe and north, central and east Asia and has spread westward through Europe in recent decades. It is a fairly regular passage visitor to the UK and a scare breeder.
