It has a very large bill, the largest of any finch in the UK, which has evolved to crack seeds and fruit stones. Their preferred habitat is woodland, high up in trees, usually only seen when foraging on the ground. Their striking plumage is mostly muted peach and orange with black eye mask and bib, and unusually shaped iridescent navy blue wing feathers. Sadly now red-listed in the UK, breeding numbers have declined steeply in recent years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDid you know?\u003c\/strong\u003e A hawfinch’s bill is strong enough to break open a cherry stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArtwork Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Original gouache and coloured pencil on 300gsm watercolour paper\u003cbr\u003e• A4 \/ 29.7 x 21cm (11.7 x 8.3 inches)\u003cbr\u003e• Signed on the front by the artist\u003cbr\u003e• Certificate of authenticity included\u003cbr\u003e• Unframed, \u003ca title=\"Framing for original gouache paintings by Amanda Gosse\" href=\"https:\/\/amandagosse.com\/products\/frame-for-original-paintings\"\u003ewith framing options available\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amanda Gosse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47204601856250,"sku":"AG00155","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0046\/1835\/4799\/files\/hawfinch-original-gouache-bird-painting.jpg?v=1742466845","url":"https:\/\/amandagosse.com\/products\/hawfinch-original-gouache-painting","provider":"Amanda Gosse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
