The male chaffinch is on the feeder and the female is looking down at him. I have seen the female less frequently than the male. I have seen her feeding a few times, from the table and the ground. The male I have seen feeding from the table, ground and feeders. I have also seen him washing and drinking from the bird-bath, and calling and singing from the tree.

Maybe the female is busy sitting on eggs?
Yes I think she is. I think that's why I usually see more males in all species. Even when I do see females, they are all sort of nondescript and brown so are hard to identify anyway (especially with my basic bird book - it doesn't show females). I can normally only tell what they are if they are out with their partner!
