birds of Siberia - bulfinch

Eurasian bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) Not everyone knows that the female is grayish.Usually they reside in flocks. It is interesting to singing male, so gentle and sad. Most often I discover bullfinches first hearing their voices. Photograph is not very easy, because I prefer to stay high in the trees. At the end of winter gather the seeds of maple, ash or weeds in the snow. However, recently the winters are mild and bullfinches rarely visit us. They remain in the far north.

birds of Siberia - Hawfinch

Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes). I do not know if you saw this bird? You can see it most easily in winter. Its unusual shape and colors allow you to not confuse with other species. It is not a pretty ordinary as the name suggests. I personally met him under a tree damson, where he regularly flew and collected prune pits and on-site scaly them with his mighty beak. In Siberia, the Urals behind it is present in large quantities. Here are the pictures of this bird Ivan Czernatkina from Chelyabinsk.

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.
