[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Polish]
The Brambling, Fringilla montifringilla, is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.

This bird is widespread throughout the forests of northern Europe and Asia. It is migratory, wintering in southern Europe, north Africa, Northern Pakistan, north India, China and Japan. It regularly strays into Alaska during migration and may continue as far south as the western United States.

Open coniferous or birch woodland is favoured for breeding. It builds its nest in a tree fork, and decorates the exterior with moss or lichen to make it less conspicuous. It lays 4-9 eggs.

This species can form large flocks outside the breeding season, sometimes mixed with Chaffinches. These large gathering occur especially if there is a good supply of Beech nuts. The food is seeds, but unlike most finches, the young are fed extensively on insects.

Hi Marcin, this is a fantastic picture. Not only did you capture the beauty of the bird but the one in the background, a little bit in the mist, adds mystery and feeling to the picture. Beautiful colours and you worked with the light very well to get to this effect. Thank you,

Francine

Hi Marcin.
What an unusual picture with two impressive plans. Even without second bird image the shot is amazing but all together image is looked greatly. Bravo. Extraordinary shot.
