The Goldfinch is one of the smaller finches found in Britain. It prefers to mainly live in small groups known as "charms" of Goldfinches. A "charm" will rove over the countryside twittering loudly whilst busily working their way from one patch of seed heads to another. They are often seen in garden locations on provided seed feeders.
Adders are the only snake whose range extends as far North as the Arctic Circle. Despite being better adapted to colder conditions than other species, it is still unusual to see them during their typical hibernation period of October to March.
