Coccothraustes coccothraustes

Coccothraustes coccothraustes, commonly known as the Hawfinch, is a robust bird species that inhabits Croatia's forests and woodlands.

Recognized for its powerful bill and large size, the Hawfinch is often observed feeding on seeds, especially those of hard fruits like cherries and plums. Its striking appearance, with a thick neck and prominent head, distinguishes it in its natural habitat.

Conservation efforts aimed at preserving forested areas and maintaining a variety of fruit-bearing trees are crucial to ensure the survival of Coccothraustes coccothraustes and promote biodiversity in Croatia.
