The citril finch (Serinus citrinella) is a small (12 g) granivorous non-territorial Cardueline finch breeding at high densities in the Pyrenees. In this area, the interaction between a Mediterranean influence and high altitudes creates a significant contrast between north- and south- facing slopes, so that patches of highly differentiated habitats appear at very close proximity. Populations leave the breeding areas in winter and gather at overwintering sites, where they are found together. More
