Chaffinches fly from Sweden and Finland to the UK so a trip between our two countries is within range.

For sure they can.
But how to make them want?

Put up a sign: Free German Beer

I've never tested out if birds like beer...
And I suppose I won't, because I think that's against animal welfare

That first one is just perfection. The pose, the catchlight in the eye, the light. Very nicely done, kudos.

Thank you!

Great pics. What a nice little cutie. I like the first one best, where it turns its head so curiously.

Thanks Max!

Finally, some really sunny days this week. Time to refill the vitamin D depots.
Not many birds in front of my lens. ...

... And a really nice blue tit.

Very sharp pictures. Very impressive.

I watched a pair of Mallards fighting for about 10 minutes, about as viciously as some of the confrontations on CR.

Jokes are not against the animal welfare, they just contribute to the humans welfare. Birds hardly pay attention to our jokes and if they were able to understand them I believe the Blackbirds in some cases will get (eventually) some pinkish tint...
