About These Birds
Hawfinch
The hawfinch possesses the most powerful bill relative to body size of any European bird, capable of cracking cherry stones that require a force of 27-43 kg. Despite its distinctive appearance, it is famously shy and difficult to observe. The skull contains special adaptations to absorb the enormous forces generated during seed-cracking.
Asian Rosy-finch
The Asian Rosy-finch is a hardy finch inhabiting high-altitude rocky terrain and snowfields across Central Asia and parts of eastern Russia. Weighing about 33.8g with a wingspan of 21.2cm, it has pinkish-tinged wing patches contrasting with dark brown plumage. It feeds on seeds and invertebrates, descending to lower elevations in winter.
