| The chaffinch, greenfinch, hedge-sparrow, and wren are less common. |
| Young birds also give a true song, especially in captivity, a warbling similar to that of the European greenfinch. |
| The coldest December on record had driven them to warmer climes, and during the day I managed to miss goldfinch, greenfinch, dunnock and song thrush as well. |
| I hear the greenfinch, stronger and sharper than our goldfinch, but less pleasing. |
| The greenfinch is marked, when in flight, by the yellow rump and bright yellow patches at the base of the tail feathers. |
| The greenfinch is perched on the summit of a tree, his song alternating between an old electric bell and the trilles of a virtuoso canary. |
