Wildlife : Birdwatching - 405

The common rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus) or scarlet rosefinch, female.

There is nothing "rose-colored" in her plumage, is not it? And she is very similar to a simple sparrow.
Yes, alas, most of the female birds are painted in such a way as to be the most invisible on the nests, this is such a natural protective camouflage.

On the other side of the coastal forest, across the river, is an open space similar to a steppe. There are no tall trees, only thickets and shrubs. You can sometimes find these birds here.
