Chinese Grosbeak

The Chinese grosbeak, also called the yellow-billed grosbeak or black-tailed hawfinch, is a finch 18–20 cm long with a wingspan of 23–24 cm and a weight of 55–60 g. It breeds in temperate forests and winters in southern parts of China and Japan, Taiwan and northern South-east Asia. (Wikipedia, general species account)

The yellow bill has a black tip, and the body is uniform grey, darker on the back and wings and silvery on the belly with brown shades on the sides; the wings are black. The nest is cup-shaped, the young are fed by both parents and fly at 12–14 days, staying with their parents another two to three weeks. Outside the breeding season it lives in small groups of about ten that move among the trees. (Wikipedia, general species account)
