Pale Rockfinch (Carpospiza brachydactyla)

From a southern Turkey trip I had a few weeks ago. Although we saw many birds and I got as much as 31 lifers, this bird, with despite it's incredibly dull plumage and a little annoying song, won my heart with the close views it gave us.

That's such a lovely picture you've taken of this rosefinch Kuzey. Such an unusual visitor to the Gallery here too.

Very well done in finding him and thank you for- sharing the picture with us.
