About These Birds
European Goldfinch
방울새는 빨간 얼굴, 노란 날개 띠, 딸랑거리는 노랫소리로 사랑받는 화려한 핀치이다. 엉겅퀴와 같은 식물의 씨앗을 빼내는 뾰족한 부리로 유명하다.
Great Tit
The great tit is the largest European tit and one of the most studied wild birds in the world. Research at Wytham Woods in Oxford has monitored great tit populations since the 1940s, contributing enormously to ecology and evolution. These innovative birds famously learned to open milk bottle tops in 20th-century Britain.
