Bullfinch

The Bullfinch.

Once a common sight along our country hedgerows, this stunning finch has, along with other seed-eating birds, suffered a rapid and severe decline in numbers.  This is almost certainly caused by a lack of food in autumn and winter, due to modern faming methods.  Feeds mainly on seeds, crushed in its large bill.  Also enjoys buds of fruit trees, making it an agricultural pest in some areas.

Goldfinches

The Goldfinch.

One of the most attractive and charming finches an appropriate adjective since a flock of Goldfinches was once known as a "charm".  Once popular with the cage bird trade, Goldfinches are holding there own in the modern world.  Feeds mainly on tiny seeds, removed from plants using its specially pointed and conical bill.  In recent years has taken to feeding on sun flower seeds from artificial feeders.

hawfinch

The Hawfinch.

Britain's largest species of finch is a magnificent bird, with a thick, bill capable of exerting enormous pressure to crush its favourite food of cherry stones. feeds mainly on seeds and berries, such as cherries and beech huts, which it crushes using it enormous and powerful bill.
