Here and there large flocks of winter buntings (Plectrophenax nivalis) already come together to fly northwards to their nesting grounds for the summer. They are our winter-time guests until April, because until then it is easier to find food – seeds – here. The male birds enliven our landscapes beautifully with their contrasting black and white plumage colours, the female birds are somewhat more discreet, shining in white and brown shades.
