✔️The common chaffinch or simply the chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)

The first finch in 2018. I met him on April 3rd, and it should be said that in siberia spring starts late, and it is not stable, there may be frosts. But even despite this, these birds still arrive at this deceptive time. They endure spring frosts, and they don't care that there may be a blizzard and snow in May, as it was like in 2018. For such frost resistance, they got a name similar to "freezer".

The males are the first to arrive. They actively begin to look for a suitable territory for nesting, and begin to sing their famous songs. And if any of the birds enters their territory, they can attack them. That is what I observed when I lured the brambling to take a close-up photo, and a chaffinch appeared and attacked him.
