BIRDS IN BRITAIN

BBC Home Service
on BBC Home Service Basic

Introduced by James Fisher
FINCHES
The chaffinch is perhaps the commonest British wild bird; another finch, the canary, is the most popular cage-bird. Finches are important in studies of migration and the nature of bird song.
All these aspects of a highly adaptable family are discussed, with recordings, by R. A. HINDE and ROBERT SPENCER , with a contribution by GRAHAM TURBOTT from New Zealand, where several European finches have been successfully introduced.
Produced by Bruce Campbell
