Ratel's photos #232 Forest Birds-179

The brambling (Fringilla montifringilla)

Oh! It's just an elusive bird in our forest! One day I was looking through my old videos from the forests of the years 2007-2009, and I heard the bramblings on them. It turns out that they constantly fly here in the spring.
The fact is that this bird appears only at the very beginning of spring. And after a few weeks again flies away. And we have to wait again for early spring, that is, a year. For the second year in a row, I can not take a picture of this bird properly and qualitatively! They do not react at all to the sounds of other bramblings from my bluetooth speaker. Therefore, I can not lure them, I have to search for them myself throughout the forest.

In the photo the male. The females do not have black plumage, instead of it the color is gray. They feed on seeds. Mostly on trees, on the ground, I did not see them. Their voice is nasty. Something like a rattling "Wzhhhh-Wzhhhh".
