What is this little red bird?

[JPearson]

This things been singing and tweeting away for a few weeks now, you can get quite close to it as i have done in this photo.



Now looking through some books on British wildlife and such the only one we can point it down to is a Chaffinch

Now what it seems to do alot of is fly close or into windows, pressume it keeps thinking its seen a mate, which is calls for day and night! And although we think we've seen a mate fly about with it its adiment its seeing another one in the window

Any ideas would be great, anything they like to feed on?

Errr. Could it perchance be a Little Red Robin. Once they get to know you they can be quite cheeky little things.

That's not a robin!

[Toyless]

Yep, I reckon its a Chaffinch

Incidentally, the RSPB's bird indentifier is very usefull for this kind of thing.
