Driftway, Upper Beeding, Steyning (garden). Classic strongly green/yellow plumage. Females are a lot less green, mostly brown.

Greenfinch ♂ (Carduelis chloris) (06/09/2006) Driftway, Upper Beeding, Steyning (garden). Classic strongly green/yellow plumage. Females are a lot less green, mostly brown.

Driftway, Upper Beeding, Steyning (garden). Classic female, could be mistaken for a house sparrow but that has more dark brown markings with bits of white and they don't have the yellow wing bars and upper rump like this one does.

Driftway, Upper Beeding, Steyning (garden). Loads of Greenfinches at the feeder - I think this may be a family. The male bottom left being the most vivid of the bunch. I think the female may be the one facing the camera third from the bottom and the others are I think juveniles but it is September now so their plumage is developing nicely!

Driftway, Upper Beeding, Steyning (garden). I think the one on the right is the female - not bright enough in colour to be a male. And the three to the left are juveniles.

Driftway, Upper Beeding, Steyning (garden). Juveniles have this very strong streaking of their belly, females have some streaking but not as obvious as this.

Greenfinch Juvenile (Carduelis chloris) (27/07/2008) Driftway, Upper Beeding, Steyning (garden). Juvie being bullied by a juvenile starling!

Greenfinch Juvenile (Carduelis chloris) (27/07/2008) Driftway, Upper Beeding, Steyning (garden). The same Juvie as the previous images.

Driftway, Upper Beeding, Steyning (garden). I suspect this is a young male given the lack of green on its head.

Driftway, Upper Beeding, Steyning (garden). The same junvenile - this is in September so probably just getting its full male plumage (but males are less colourful anyway when non-breeding, e.g. in winter).
