This week's topic is - MALE BIRDS

Chaffinch

While the female is difficult to distinguish from a sparrow from a distance, the male is clearly distinguished by its appearance and the presence of blue, pale rufous, and a touch of yellow.

Asian Stonechat

The male is deep black with a reddish chest. Females are brown and washed-out.

Bluethroat

The male is beautiful and colorful. And the females... you'll hardly see them; it's very rare to see a female of these birds, but once you see one, you'll immediately know it's a female. She has only gray and black plumage, lacking that colorful "apron."

Common Rosefinch

The older the male, the brighter and more intense his pink color. Young males and females have identical plumage, resembling a sparrow's.

Redpoll

Males have a crimson neck and chest, while females do not.

Redstart

The male is beautiful, with a bright orange underparts and black upperparts, with a gray head.

Самки высиживают яйца, им ни к чему быть заметными :)
