The bullfinch is widespread and numerous in most of Europe although they tend to be quiet and rather shy birds which can be easily overlooked.
Bullfinches are big, fat finches which can be most easily identified by their neat, jet black caps or their obvious square white rumps, as if the base of the tail has been wrapped in white bandage. Females are browner than males, lacking the red front and grey back. Juveniles lack the black cap but can still be told by their fat, bull-necked appearance and short but very deep black bill, as well as the conclusive white rump.
De goudvink komt in vrijwel geheel Europa voor. De wetenschappelijke naam betekent: de vuurrode. Het mannetje is duidelijk herkenbaar aan de opvallend rode buik. Vrouwtjes goudvinken zijn bruiner gekleurd. Tot het biotoop van de goudvink behoren struweelrijke bosranden, parken en oude tuinen.
