If you really want to see this species, you'll have to visit Bucharest in winter...

Thanks for sharing, Cristian. This is a very good capture and I wish I could see one of this birds soon. This guys have a very strong beak which is useful for eating cherry kernels

It is related with the Grosbeaks - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawfinch

Looks like it might be related to our Grosbeaks.
