This week's theme is - free theme.
Well, I decided to show you rare birds, which I have met only once.
The little stint (Calidris minuta or Erolia minuta)
I met this tiny sandpiper in autumn on the bank of the river. More precisely, it was a small group of birds from 4 of these birds and a pair of wagtails. They walked on the pebbles and looked for food.
The pine bunting (Emberiza leucocephalos)
This bird was in the bushes between the shore and the coniferous forest. When I passed by, she jumped out of these bushes.
The northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis)
I saw this formidable predator over a small lake near a large river. HE scared away ducks and sandpipers with his appearance.
The hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes)
This bird was just sitting on a tree branch without moving. Probably rested. It was in autumn.
The Arctic redpoll or hoary redpoll(Acanthis hornemanni)
I usually meet common redpolls starting in end of autumn. They are more colorful and colorful than this rare species.
The Baikal bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula cineracea)
I met a couple of these plump beauties at the end of winter. They flew from bush to bush and ate something.
The red crossbill or common crossbill (Loxia curvirostra)
In order to meet these birds more often, you need to monitor the level of the harvest of pine nuts, which do not grow every year. Well, of course, go to the forest more often in winter.
The hen harrier (Circus cyaneus)
This predator flew over the meadows where it lives full of small rodents.
The common redshank or simply redshank (Tringa totanus)
Far outside the city, on the lake in late autumn, I saw a flock of these sandpipers. They stood in the cold water and rested before the long flight.

Thanks! Yes, this little friend ran very fast on the stones.
Long distance migratory to Africa from Europe, also smallest in the wadding birds. Have seen them, they move too fast for awesome clear photography like capture you managed.
Отличная фотоподборка птиц. Приятно было посмотреть.
Благодарю!
Wow, wow, wow. Incredible display of rare birds. I only have hawfinch in my collection.
The crossbill is unique with its crossed bill. The first photo is outstanding and yet all of the photos are. 🙂
Thanks 😊
Very nice pictures, I like the "little stint" the most of this series.
Thanks
Awesome post of those rare birds, beautiful photos my friend
