Tag: Asian Rosy Finch
Slumming it
They breed in pristine mountains somewhere in northeast Asia but in the winter they slum it in the flotsam and jetsam in the corner of fishing ports………….
Fish crates are used for perching instead of heather or moss-covered rocks………..
An influx
Asian Rosy Finches were everywhere on Sunday: we saw them in at least 4 different locations.
In the corner………
There were some more Asian Rosy Finches in the corner of another port.
Shame it was in the harsh midday sun……….
More winter finches
There were lots of Asian Rosy Finch on the coast near Sawara today.
I’ve already seen this species several times this winter but not for several weeks…………
Bullfinch, Redpoll and Brambling were also around.
A few more of the Rosy Finch
One of my fave species……………
A winter bird on a wintry day
Still really cold: this Asian Rosy Finch was at least posing for photos east of town.
This is a male and it was all alone. Well, it had about 10 Rustic Buntings for company.
I was wading through snowdrifts to get these photos……….
A bit of colour on a grey day
There were 4 Asian Rosy Finch east of town today………..
One of my favourite winter visitors.
Back!
There was a flock of 7 Asian Rosy Finch east of town today but they flew off before I could get a decent picture.
The local Steller’s Sea Eagle has returned there…………….
Annoyingly it stayed high up on the hillside and didn’t do anything all afternoon.
Several White-tailed Eagles and 2 Mountain Hawk-Eagles were around as well.
