Only one species I'm afraid: a Greenfinch it is, I think ...
Difficult shot with the bird in the undergrowth. This is just a heavily cropped JPEG, but I've got better pictures ...

Thank you very much Bart. That's terrific.
Having both sound and visual identification is very special I think.
Please keep it up. I'll try to do the same!!

While editing images of a Blueberry devouring Spotted Towhee,
I was listening to a video clip of Stanford University Professor Andrew Huberman
about Sugar & Your Brain.

Huberman pointed out that humans are not the only ones craving sweet food.
How fitting.
