Thanks to my wonderful patrons I've finished the second Polish bird set some time ago! I'm hoping to make another next year and keep adding new species to my offer :D do you know all of these?

Stickerset!

A bunch of birds I've seen recently :D

Emberiza citrinella is Yellowhammer! Their song is really nice. It reminds me of tiny tiny bells. Also, fun fact. Yellowhammer in Russian is овсянка (ovsyanka), which means oatmeal!

While we're talking about food. Common rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus) in Russian is чечевица (chechevitsa). It's lentil! :'3 I like their song a lot! It has lentil vibes. I won't explain, my logic works in weird ways. I noticed that local rosefinches don't sing the final syllable, which I saw in many mnemonic techniques for remembering their song.

Ficedula hypoleuca or European pied flycatcher. They had a nest in a tree hollow right in front of my window. I could see the male regularly tending to the nest. Besides bringing food to the chicks he chased off thrushes, tits and squirrels. I haven't noticed the female though. But I wasn't watching them 24/7 so eh. These birds actually have really complicated relationships. I've read about occasions, in which single males fed the chicks of an unrelated couple of birds. Also, males can have up to 7 morphs! From the grey brownish female like one to the almost black!

Actitis hypoleuca is common sandpiper! They're really funny. I like their shape and the way they move slightly wagging their tails. And of course how they feed by dipping their beaks in mud!!!

February 12, 2018 - Common Rosefinch or Scarlet Rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus)

Breeding across much of Eurasia, these finches winter in South and Southeast Asia. They eat seeds, buds, catkins, shoots, leaves, fruits, and nectar, along with insects and other arthropods. Breeding between May and August, pairs raise one brood a year, building their nests in low vegetation from twigs, stems, grass, rootlets, other plant materials, and horsehair. Females incubate the eggs alone.
