White-winged Snowfinch

White-winged Snowfinch

Montifringilla nivalis








Found by Timea Szederjesithis, this was a third for Slovakia and a first for Hungary. The bird was found at the castle of Somoskő, in Slovakia on December 29th 2009.
The castle is on the Slovakian-Hungarian border, so when the bird crossed the border in flight, it was the first record for Hungary. The bird was seen until January 2nd 2010, and it was filmed in Slovakia by Hungaryan birder Bodor Gábor.
