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.
The White-winged Snowfinch is a very striking bird — congratulations on your Lifer!
