Description
With these snowy conditions, a lot of special birds are visiting our garden:
The Hawfinch, Coccothraustes coccothraustes, is a passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. As its closest living relatives are the Evening Grosbeak (C. vespertinus) from North America and the Hooded Grosbeak (C. abeillei) from Central America especially Mexico, the Hawfinch is sometimes also referred to as the European grosbeak.
Le Gros-bec casse-noyaux est une petite espèce de passereau partiellement migrateur. C'est l'espèce la plus grande de la famille des fringillidés. Il est apparenté à certains gros-becs, actuellement classés dans des genres différents.

Il est très mignon et les couleurs sont très belles. C'est un jardin ornithologique chez toi ? Il ne me semble pas qu'il y ait autant d'espèces d'oiseaux ici. Je devrais peut-être m'acheter des jumelles et un téléobjectif ! Il y a un rapace qui rôde dans le coin et c'est très frustrant de ne pas pouvoir l'immortaliser.

What a striking finch, I have never seen one in a lifetime of birdwatching! They seem to leave when they know I'm coming.
