*****************************

This beuty is the most widespread and common rosefinch of Europe, where it has spread westward from Asia. Common Rosefinches breed from Sweden and Siberia to the Bering Sea; the Caucasus, northern Iran and Afghanistan, Pakistan and the western Himalaya, Tibet and China; to Japan between latitudes 25° and 68°. In winter they are found from southern Iran to south-east China, India, Burma, and Indochina.

The mature male has brilliant rosy-carmine head, breast and rump; heavy bill; dark brown wings with two indistinct bars, and a white belly. Females and young males are nondescript with yellowish-brown above, brighter on the rump and grayer on head; buff below.

They are found in summer in thickets, woodland and forest edges near rivers and in winter in gardens and orchards, swampy vegetation and locally in dry oak woods.

The nest is placed low in a bush and the five eggs are dark blue with coarse dark brown spots.

Merhaba Bayram,

Bir kuş kompozisyonu için söylenecek sözlerin hepsini bir karede toplamak büyük haksızlık:) Kıskanılacak güzellikte bir kare.
Tebrikler...

Merhabalar,
Hocam tebrikler! Renkler ve poz çok güzel.
Sevgiler

Wow Lovely capture Bayram. Awesome composition. I like the way you have framed this with the whole branch of this bush with tiny blue flowers and a beautiful bird at one end. Very artistic. Superb composition. I liked this.

TFS,
Kedar

Selam Bayram!

Heart-touching closeup of the Rosefinch! The bird looks so adorable and pure. The flowers are just wonderfully positioned in the picture and the sharpness is just ideally done. The POV and DOF are well controlled. The green BG looks just awesome.
Great composition!

Thanks for posting!

best regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hello Bayram,
A superb capture of this male Rosefinch taken from a fine POV on the campanula stem with excellent sharpness and lighting. Though this species occurs in Sweden it is some time since I took a shot as good as this.
The song has been interpreted in swedish and in English it sounds like 'pleased to meet you!' This is clearly heard in your sound link.
Thanks dostum and best regards,
Ivan

Hello Bayram

Merhaba MF Bayram,
it is just simply lovely. the cute face and the reddish head. What a pleasant capture, the bird as well as the purple flowers.
Nice effect by the blurry green.

Foozi

Hi Bayram,

I really like the composition, and the violet blue Campanula flower buds add to the image. Nice and sharp, good detail.

A very attractive little bird, looks a lot like the Purple Finches, Carpodacus purpureus and House Finches, Carpodacus mexicanus that we have here.

Hi LBB,

I've never seen a Rosefinch but he seems to be quite similar to the House finch. The coloring is beautiful. Fantastic details of his face, eye, beak and feathers. I love the pose on the branch with the wonderful lavender flowers. The setting and composition is magnificent.

Jane

Hi little bro Bayram,

an very nice shot this bird on an Campanulla flower.
Fine colours.

Absolutely fantastic shot, so no WS from me this time. :) Excellent composition, sharpness and awesome color harmony - pinkish red bird + violet flowers in the green. Very elegant, "festival of colors", as Luciano said. Bravo.
