Migrating chaffinches.

Fringilla coelebs |
Our presumably most numerous nesting bird (more than a couple of million pairs), and their species comrades, chaffinches from further up north, migrate to Western Europe for the winter. Male birds now have a more discrete “winter habit” and it is less easy to distinguish them from the females. The chaffinches who are very individualistic in springtime are now companionable again, and also vegetarians outside the nesting period. On migration they like to be in open landscapes – stubble fields and other fields, and we often see them on the roads.
