Ref:gre3005

These birds breed April to August and have four to six eggs. The incubation period is 13 days - the young fledging at 13-16days. They can have 2 - 3 broods a year. They nest in conifers and bushes.

Seen near Stornoway - Western Isles - May 2009 - these birds are really interesting to watch as they hop around on the ground picking up the seed dropped from the bird feeder.
