Common Chaffinch

This is a Common Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), a small finch recognized by its blue-grey cap, warm reddish-brown underparts, and bold white wing bars. Males show the most vivid coloration, especially during the breeding season. The species is widespread across Europe and inhabits woodlands, forest edges, and mountainous regions, including the forested zones of Mount Olympus.

A small waterfall flows into a clear turquoise pool within the Enipeas Gorge on the lower slopes of Mount Olympus, Greece.
