✔️The common rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus) or scarlet rosefinch

This is one of my favorite photos!
This photo was taken in mid-May, when the bird cherry began to bloom. This photo was taken in mid-May, when the birdcherry (Mayday tree) began to bloom. And by the way, one of the outdated names of this bird is the "cherry bird".

This beautiful bright male was sitting on a separate branch of the bush, he specially chose this place for everyone to see him. As soon as I began to approach him, he got scared and flew away. But not for long. A few seconds later, he returned here again to sing a song.

In the lower photo you can see the female, she is poorly colored, and in general she looks like it can be confused with an common sparrow.
