Hi Cwmhiraeth, review follows: article 5x expanded on 9 December; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I don't have access to all the sources but I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing from the ones I could read; hook is interesting and mentioned in article; hook fact is cited to an (offline) reliable source that I am happy to assume supports the fact; QPQ has been done. This one looks good to go. There is quite a nice photo of this brightly-coloured bird in the article that might be used if desired - Dumelow (talk) 13:21, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. It's not a specially exciting bird and I am happy for the image slot to be used for more worthy nominations. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:33, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Hey, I like it. But then I don't often see anything much more colourful than a chaffinch from my window! - Dumelow (talk) 22:22, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
