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

birds of Siberia - azure tit

This time I present a tit like a common bird. It is the azure tit (Cyanistes cyanus). In Poland, nest 6 species of tits, of which 3 species are definitely forest and only see them there in the winter. Well, two years ago in the winter watching the herd of common tits and czyży I saw some tits azure highly visible with their bright coloration. I knew about them, but I met for the first time and this for a moment. In Western Siberia is a bird common. Here are some pictures of these birds.

birds of Siberia - common redpoll

Now I would like to begin presenting a wealth of birds of Siberia. I'd never been and probably never will be. I met an excellent photographer of birds from Chelyabinsk just beyond the Urals Ivan Czernatkin. Here I will present some species of birds, which he famously photographed. I will begin with the bird, which in the winter sometimes smacks us. This is a common redpoll (A. flammea flammea). We saw it last time in 2005. My own photography was quite unsuccessful.The latter, this is just my execution on 8 December 2005

new beautiful asphalt road

In the vicinity of our village we were put into operation about 10 km of new beautiful asphalt road leading from village to village. Yesterday we decided to take a ride on the new road and at the same time to look at nature with such hot weather what happens in October. We stopped first at the bridge over the river Sidra before the village Butrymowce. There I took a few photos of the area. Then we stopped on a high hill before the village Bieniowce. Quite a grand view from here towards the river valley. Then it will back we stopped at the next bridge in the hinterland village of Jaczno and here too we watched the countryside. The day was sunny and quite windy.
