Птичка

По всему - синичка, только грудка красная. А на самом деле кто?
Update: А на самом деле - снегирь.

Thanks, Barbara! And what are the nesting sites the Atlas lists? Do they include Царицыно and Фили, mentioned by Vera and Maxim in this thread?

Hmm, Well, I found Царицыно (Царицынские пруды), and they don't have a nesting site listed there but they do have winter, spring, summer and fall sightings. I don't see Фили and I don't know where it is. The sites where they have good evidence of nesting are Лесопарк "Узкое", Терлецкий парк, Главный бот. сад РАН, и Нац. парк "Лосиный остров". Most of the non-nesting observations seem to be either near the outer edges of the city or near rivers. It says that outside the breeding season it varies from 'uncommon' to 'common', varying a lot from year to year. What I don't know is whether this is still "winter" or whether we are getting into the breeding season. The crows are starting to nest already. And the синицы are singing their breeding songs now. But they stay here all year. (I should add a userpic of me at the dacha bird-watching!) (Not now)
