Juvenile Greenfinch (Chloris chloris) on the left and juvenile Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) on the right, taken by Rebecca Dickson at a feeding station at RSPB Loch Leven. Juvenile finches undergo a partial moult at five weeks of age by replacing their head, body and many of the covert feathers, but not their flight feathers. A recent decline in numbers of greenfinches has been linked to an outbreak of trichomonosis, a parasite-induced disease that prevents the birds from feeding properly. To stop the spread, bird feeders should be kept clean.

Pair of Whooper Swans (Cygnus cygnus) at RSPB Loch Leven Nature Reserve, Perth and Kinross. Like all swans, Whooper swans are monogamous and form life-long breeding pairs after becoming sexually mature at around 4 years of age. It is rare for Whooper swans to breed in the UK, although there are a few breeding pairs in Scotland. Instead, the vast majority of the UK population breeds in Iceland and overwinters here.
