🦉 The rustic bunting (Emberiza rustica)

  • Emberiza embritz (Old German) bunting
  • rustica rusticus (lat.) rural, country

Oh, this is quite a rare species, listed in the regional Red Book. It's surprising that I only see them at the end of April, and at no other time.
Judging by the fact that at this time they are flying in a small flock, they are in the process of migrating and in the forests of my city they only stop to rest and refresh themselves.

It's easy to guess that males have contrasting colors: bright rusty colors and deep black, while females are dark brown and beige.
