birds of Siberia - long-tailed rosefinch

This bird here in Poland is unknown. It belongs to genus of Carpodacus. The only representative from us is rosefinch ordinary (Erythrina erythrinus). This bird is not very common, but it can be found most often near rivers. It has a very pleasant melody and easy to remember. On the other hand long-tailed rosefinch (Carpodacus sibiricus) is a bird of the Siberian zone. Male coloration is more vivid with a predominance of red color. Here are the photographs of these species. Photographed by Ivan Czernatkin
