Common Rosefinch

The 'Common' Rosefinch is a very uncommon visitor to Scotland. Its usual summer range is in Sweden, Finland, Eastern Europe and across Russia to Siberia; they winter mostly in India. The first of the birds photographed here was present for several weeks frequenting some feeders beside the Real Food Cafe in Tyndrum, Argyll. The other was also present for a prolonged period around the Loch Tummel Inn in Perthshire. It seems to be the case, that when a bird gets settled in a location it will remain there for several weeks vainly singing for a mate.
