🦉 The Siberian long-tailed rosefinch (Carpodacus sibiricus)
(outdated name - Uragus Sibiricus)

📚 Carpodacus Greek: karpos fruit, daknō to bite
📚 Uragus oura (Greek) tail, ago (Latin) set in motion, make
📚 sibiricus (lat.) Siberian

Oh! It is interesting. The name of this bird has changed again in Wikipedia. In my memory, this is the third change. Well, this happens in the world of ornithology.

We call this bird simply - Uragus. But it also has other names, for example: long-tailed bullfinch, or long-tailed rosefinch.

This bird does not come across to me often, and most importantly, you need to know where to look for them. And you need to look for them starting in the fall, near rivers or railway tracks. Birds have adapted to use rivers and railways as landmarks in their wanderings.

The photos were just taken near these places. Autumn photo near the river, the bird was in the bushes. And winter photos near the railway, on the field.
