A wild/feral Canary bird, right? Searching for serlin at English-Language Wikipedia only resulted in things and people that are non-avian, but in Spanish Pffft, the seach ended up in a page about Canary birds.
Looks definitely loud and pretty.

I think there’s an extra L there, I’m assuming it’s a Serin, Serinus serinus. It’s closely related to canary birds but it’s not the wild canary, that would be Serinus canaria.
It’s call is very familiar to me, I’d say that after the house sparrow this may be the 2nd most common resident passerine here.

I adore these little guys.

Thanks, Nightjar, for clearing out the confusion.

Sorry for the confusion. If anybody needs that extra L, feel free to take it.
