The Common Rosefinch: Close Up HD Footage (Carpodacus erythrinus)

The Common Rosefinch is a small passerine bird that breeds across northern Europe and Asia. These finches have a pinkish-red colour on their head, breast and rump, with streaky brown feathers on their wings and back. The males are brighter than the females during the breeding season. They migrate to southern Asia and north-eastern Africa for the winter months. Rosefinches prefer open woodland, scrubland and parks with plenty of bushes for nesting. Their cup-shaped nests are built from grass, moss and twigs, lined with finer materials. They mainly eat seeds, berries and insects during the summer. These pretty little finches have a delightful tinkling song and are a joy to spot in parks and gardens.
