Helo everyone!
I have seen two birds this autumn that I have not been able to identify, and hoping maybe someone here would be able to help me.
The first is a sparrow-like bird I saw in Helsinki in october. It was in company with a flock of house sparrows waiting for breadcrumbs at a cafe. It was the same size and had the same behavior as a house sparrow, but with dark brown head.
The second I saw in my hometown 80km southwest of Helsinki. The closest I can guess is that it maybe is a juvenile redpoll?? I have never seen this bird before. it is not the best of photos, but I hope it is good enough to id.
I am very thankful for all the help you can give!
