SPECIES: Fringilla Coelebs (lat.) // Chaffinch (en.) // Cinteza (ro.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringilla_coelebs


COMMENTS:I shoot this bird on the edge of a small forest, 5km away from Margina village. I think this is a young male.
UDPDATE: I have like 50 pictures of this species, but only in this one the bird have a crest. I had problems identifying this, because i saw only front of the bird in the picture. Thanks to Parvulescu Lucian, an inactive member of Treknature for helping me identify this bird.
I think they raise their crest and singing in the breading season when they try to attract females.
