White-winged Snowfinch
The White-winged Snowfinch (Schneesperling – Montifringilla nivalis) is my lif bird #508. I saw it in Italy on top of the skiing mountain “Kronplatz” (South Tiroly) – what a surprise. I’m glad I had my camera with me 😉
A bad picture but a nice look of the wing pattern in flight:
The usual Alpine Choughs (Alpendohle – Pyrrhocorax graculus) were around too.
At one point in the afternoon there were about 50 of them circling in the sky.
And also the mountain view was very nice!
The White-winged Snowfinch is a very striking bird — congratulations on your Lifer!
