    Default Greenfinch - Carduelis chloris

    I looked up the Latin name, and interestingly, as well as being the name of various Greek characters, 'Chloris' means 'yellowy-green' (note 'Chlorophyll'), and the name 'Chloe' means 'green shoot'.

    ... well, I had nothing else to say about the shot

    I love Greenfiches, the males always look like they've been in a bar room brawl, on the losing side.
