Uncommon to fairly common, but unobtrusive and easily overlooked (says who?!). The eurasian bullfinch favors mixed woodland and edge, parks, gardens, orchards; also farmland with hedges and wooded patches. Usually found in pairs or small groups, feeding quietly and sluggishly on buds and fruits; does not usually visit feeders. White rump patch shows mainly in flight. Soft, plaintive whistled notes may draw attention. Source: Merlin
