Song thrush (Turdus philomelos) in the water with its wings up, many droplets splashing about.

Great tit (Parus major) completely soaked with water, its head facing to the left and its eye towards the camera

Male Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) made a big splash, many drops flying off, perfectly frozen in a photo.

Male Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes) splashing the water around and looking towards the camera.

Personal hygiene is important, even for birds. Especially in this time of year when they're either attracting mates or already building/maintaining a nest. Taken last Monday in the forest birding hide in #Espelo

A Greenfinch (Chloris chloris) stands in sharp focus on a lush green moss-covered surface, her olive-yellow plumage blending softly with the textured foreground. She faces left with a calm, alert posture. Behind her, two Hawfinches (Coccothraustes coccothraustes) are caught mid-action in soft bokeh: one with wings fully spread in a dramatic upward flare showing brown and white feathers, the other with its distinctive orange-chestnut back and bold white wing patches visible. The background is a deep, dark green blur of out-of-focus foliage. Photo by Geert Klein Breteler.

#BirdoftheDay Alt theme is #Green. A #Greenfinch holds her ground on a cushion of vivid moss, unhurried and composed, while two Hawfinches are fighting in the background.

Hawfinch/Appelvink (Coccothraustes coccothraustes) on a branch showing its back with brown shoulders and blue and black wingtips and facing to the right against a nice warm and creamy background.

Beside the male's colors, its beak stands out as a defining feature, it can extort a lot of force, enough to crack a cherry pit.

Portrait of a hawfinch in bright sunlight; only the bird's head, turned to the right, and the upper part of its back are visible, contrasting beautifully with the blurred dark green background. The striking beak reinforces the determined look in the animal's eyes.

Tschüss und vielen Dank für all die Winterbesuche! Bis zum nächsten Herbst ...

Bye, and thank you for all the lovely winter visits! See you next autumn ...

Not been crazy creative lately it’s been a busy week but here’s Hawfinch sketch I did as part of my bigger wanting to draw every bird in the uk personal project #art #pencilsketch #beginner #hawfinch

𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗘𝗻𝗴): A Hawfinch perched on the edge of a pond, its feet half-submerged, surveys its surroundings before drinking. The water's surface is still, and the golden light of the rising sun reflects the bird like a mirror. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻 (𝗘𝘀𝗽): Un Picogordo posado en la orilla de una charca de agua, con las patitas semisumergidas, observa a su alrededor antes de beber. La superficie del agua está quieta y la dorada luz del sol al amanecer hace que el ave se refleje en ella como en un espejo. Científico: Coccothraustes coccothraustes Castellano: Picogordo Catalá: Durbec, Bec de Ferro o Mengapinyols Euskera: Mokolodia Galego: Bicogroso Português: Bico-Grossudo Italiano: Frosone English: Hawfinch Français: Gros-Bec Casse-Noyaux Deutsch: Kernbeißer

It’s always a good day if you see a Goshawk, Woodlark or a Hawfinch. Today I saw all 3 from a single spot. A bit of sun, blue sky and the beautiful sound of Woodlark singing overhead. Bliss. Woodlark and Hawfinch here. #birds #ukbirding #birdsseenin2026 #hawfinch #woodlark #goshawk

A Hawfinch sitting in shallow water, surrounded by suspended droplets frozen mid-air, with warm golden tones in the background and fine feather detail visible on the bird’s head and body.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WaterDroplets — birds with water droplets on them.

This is about a #Hawfinch, that used to hang out around me and us during Summer, when on the terrace, balcony or just by the open door. This bird has the cogwheels in his head clicking and turning, he moves smoothly and slowly, not frantic, examining, computing and looking at me. What a borb.

Two hawfinches interact on a broken tree branch. One bird is perched on the branch with its beak open, while the second approaches from the left with wings spread, captured mid flight against a blurred green background.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #TwoOfAKind.
Two hawfinches arguing about who actually owns that branch.

Hawfinch - better known for its strong beak, strong enough to crack cherry stones and olive pits, than its ice skating ability. This particular bird can do it all ⛸️

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #splashes any bird with splashing water in frame. The alternative is #hidden any bird hiding from camera.
The first photo is from my garden ( #GreatTit) and the second from a workshop ( #Hawfinch).
