Punakylkirastas mustalupossa - Redwing in Speckled horsehair
Punakylkirastaalla oli poikue Kuntaskurun kuusikossa, ja emo asettui auliisti valokuvattavaksi mustaluppoiseen kuuseen. Molemmat ruosteenpunaiset kylkilaikut pilkottavat linnulta.
Redwing (Turdus iliacus) had chics in the Kuntas river valley, and the parents posed openly in the nearby spruces to lead the wanderers eye away from the young ones. Speckled horsehair (Bryoria fuscescens) grows well in the young spruce tree.
Both red spots in the flanks of the bird are well seen.
