Chaffinch
Infos from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Fringillidae
Genus: Fringilla
Species: F. coelebs
Binomial name
Fringilla coelebs
Linnaeus, 1758
The Chaffinch, Fringilla coelebs, is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae, also called a spink. Its large double white wing bars, white tail edges and greenish rump easily identify this 14-16 cm long species. The breeding male is unmistakable, with his reddish underparts and a blue-grey cap. The female is drabber and greener, but still obvious.

This bird is widespread and very familiar throughout Europe. It is the most common finch in western Europe. Its range extends into western Asia, northwestern Africa, the Azores and Madeira. In the Canary Islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria it coexists with its sister species, the endemic Blue Chaffinch.

It was introduced from Britain into a number of its overseas territories in the 18th and 19th centuries. In South Africa a very small breeding colony in the suburb of Camps Bay near Cape Town is the only remnant of one such introduction.
Behaviour
It uses a range of habitats, but open woodland is favoured, although it is common in gardens and on farmland. It builds its nest in a tree fork, and decorates the exterior with moss or lichen to make it less conspicuous. It lays about six eggs.
This bird is not migratory in the milder parts of its range, but vacates the colder regions in winter. The coelebs part of its name means "bachelor". This species was named by Linnaeus; in his home country of Sweden, where the females depart in winter, but the males often remain. This species forms loose flocks outside the breeding season, sometimes mixed with Bramblings. This bird occasionally strays to eastern North America, although some sightings may be escapees.
The food of the Chaffinch is seeds, but unlike most finches, the young are fed extensively on insects.
The powerful song is very well known, and its fink or vink sounding call gives the finch family its English name. Males typically sing two or three different song types, and there are regional dialects too
The acquisition by the young Chaffinch of its song was the subject of an influential study by British ethologist William Thorpe. Thorpe determined that if the Chaffinch is not exposed to the adult male's song during a certain critical period after hatching, it will never properly learn the song.1 He also found that in adult Chaffinches, castration eliminates song, but injection of testosterone induces such birds to sing even in November, when they are normally silent (Thorpe 1958).

Elinize sağlık Hocam.

Though comparisons are in bad taste, I cannot help recalling a very gifted young lady from your country Ms Sebnem(DEW) [unfortunately she has dropped out of TN] who also posted her work like you do -- well spaced out but worth waiting for.
This picture of a female Chaffinch looks simple but is perhaps one of the most life-like pictures I have ever seen on any photo sharing website. Here you have captured the bird in a routine activity --feeding. She has plucked a fresh fig open and is eating it with apparent relish. The red of the open fig is a beauty unto itself. What strikes me powerfully is the way she is perched on another fig. There is so much poise and balance in her posture it turns into a symbol of symbiosis between the bird and the fig tree.
In other words, it is yet another masterly image from you for which you deserve many thanks, Omer bey.
Ram

Hello Omer,

The open fruit with its nice color brings more life to the photo. The bird as it was photographed in a natural feeding posture makes the image dinamic. The sharpnes is fine so both bird and fruits can be well observed.

Thank you for sharing,

Very cute this lady! And eating a delicious dessert! Beautiful little vivid picture. Fine sharpness on the bird and ideal blurred green background. I eventually would have cut the leaf down on the left side.
Thanks also for the interesting note, especially on the learning of the song.

Merhaba Ömer,
A fine capture, up to your usual high standard, of a female chaffinch feeding on a fig fruit taken from a great POV.
Technically this is first class and the composition with the open fruit against an OOF natural BG is excellent.
Thanks for sharing this superb image showing Chaffinch feeding behaviour that I have never seen before!

Hello Omer !
Excellent picture of this beautiful bird - seems like you have captured her at the perfect moment ! You have really a lot of talent with birds. Sharpness, details, colors, POV, everything is excellent. Maybe I would have cut away the empty space at the top of the picture, but this is just my own opinion, the picture is fantastic as it is. Very well done !

What a cute title!
Great shot here. What a wonderfully balanced bird...is that to say this is a balanced breakfast? ha ha

Merhaba Omer,
that image works a perfect appetizer. Makes me hungry to see the finch taking its lunch from a juicy red ripe fig. I love those gentle greens of the image highlighted by the bright red centre. With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

P.S.: Best wishes to Sebnem! Just read that she is your daughter. My congratulations to you for having such a highly talented photographer and charming lady as a daughter, to her for having you as a father, and for both of you for the beloved new member of your family!

Hello Omer,
This is an excellent capture, very sharp with good action and natural exposure. You chose excellent composition and funny title. I have read your answer to Mr. Ram and I'm pleased to know that you are Sebnem's father! Excellence in photography is a gift that you have in the family ;)! Thanks a lot for sharing this superb picture!

Hallo Omer
I am almost last in the queue to leave comments on this great and most appealing image and I do apologize. My worst enemy time has lately been chasing me around constantly.
This is really beautiful. The image in total is a pleasure to look at, as the colours captured is vivid and bright and the scene is delightful. Figs are very scarce in our area, and I enjoyed looking at the ripeness of one of these fruits that is displayed so well. Thanks for sharing this beautiful picture. Best regards

Salam Omer,

This is slightly different from your usual style of photography that is done in low lighting atmosphere.While i would have recognised your composition just by looking at it without checking for the name, i must say -this one wouldn't have given away your identity soon.

The capture has a rich tropical mood with well saturated colours radiating from the grees, the fruits and well presented female chaffinch in excellent sharpness.The little bird with the fruits bit looks least bothered as to who is looking its way.

Very well done.
TFS & Cheers

Hi Omer.
You are lucky photographer. You managed to freeze so nice scene and its framing is great. I like pictorial surroundings of the main subject as well as the reproduction of the cute bird and fruits. Superb timing and attractive moment. DOF also is selected perfectly. All subject is in focus and BG is blurred nicely. My best wishes and compliments.

Dear Ömer,
It seems like I spend most of my time today evening with browsing Your gallery and commenting Your great photos... :) This image is simply brilliant, from each aspect (composition, colors, sharpness, bg, DOF, POV). It's such a superb capture that I bookmark it as one of my favorite images instead of writing more clichés.
Tfs, have a nice day, László

hello Omer,
Very nice photo of the bird enjoying the fruit. Like its a small story. Nice colors and lighting.
