Title: Carduelis carduelis
Post by: abejaruco on April 07, 2008, 04:54:12 pm

It is not an insect...nearly, it´s really small. It sings very nice but it´s really bad if you have a garden because eat seeds.

This carduelis (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carduelis_carduelis) has hypnotized me.

Isn't that a pretty bird!  I love seeing all the wildlife and comparing the differences to ours.

In this video, a lanius mimics the birds singing, like an attractive siren, first the parus (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parus_caeruleus), after that a cardelius that will be the lunch.

Magnific wildlife video.
