Il Cardellino (Carduelis carduelis) e’ un passeraceo carinissimo e coloratissimo,  parente dei Fringuelli,  che staziona in Finlandia in estate e di norma trascorre l’inverno a latitudini piu’ meridionali.  Della Finlandia pero’ colonizza solo la parte sud e qualche stormo in inverno vi rimane o si sposta di poco.

Questo uccellino,  gran bravo cantante,  e’ diffuso in tutto il mondo:  il suo musetto rosso e’ riconoscibilissimo dappertutto.  Si ciba di grani e semi preferibilmente ed e’ lungo fino a 13 cm appena.

European Goldfinches.

The Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) is a very cute and colorful passerine,  a relative to the Common Chaffinch,  which stays in Finland in summer and usually spends winter in more southern latitudes.  The Goldfinch however,  lives preferably only in the southern part of Finland and some flocks remain here in winter or move away just a little. 

This pretty bird is a great singer and is widespread all over the world:  its red face is very recognizable everywhere.  It feeds on grains and seeds preferably and is barely 13 cm long. 

In the above video:  a small flock filmed on a summer day in Somero.

  9. Der liebe Gott hatte allen Vögeln eine Farbe zugeteilt.
    Nur den Stieglitz hatte er vergessen.
    Als der nun weinend vor ihm stand nahm Gott den Pinsel und tunkte ihn in alle Farbreste die er noch hatte und bemalte den Stieglitz.
    So wurde aus dem kleinen Stieglitz der wunderschöne bunte Vogel. 🌈🌈🌈
    Happy Monday Luisella

  24. The European Goldfinch is such a charming and vibrant bird, with its striking red face and melodic song. It’s fascinating to learn how these tiny creatures brave the winters in southern Finland or migrate just a little to find warmer weather.

    Beautiful photos, Luisella!
