European goldfinch - Jilguero
Altea, Rio Algar (Nov, 2013).
In the winter goldfinches group together to form flocks of up to forty, occasionally more. This colorful birds are common in the Mediterranean part of Spain. Their song is appreciated which sometimes leads to their captivity. I much prefer to see them in the wild.

The European goldfinch or goldfinch, is a small passerine bird in the finch family that is native to Europe, North Africa and western Asia. It has been introduced to other areas including Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay.
