Winterguest




At first I thought it was a finch sitting in the ivy,
But when I was looking through the lens...
I knew it was n't...

When I searched my bird book,
it looked most like a Brambling, (Keep), (Fringilla montifringilla).
so that's what it is.

He, I guess this is a she... is a winter guest coming from the far north: Russia or Scandinavian countries, spending wintertime here.
