This stocky species breeds in the temperate regions
of Europe and Asia. Northern populations are migratory and move to
southern Eurasia for the winter. Unlike most other finches, bullfinches

but a small family group, usually comprising less than 10 individuals,
can be seen in late autumn/winter. |
