Hangelind, Plectrophenax nivalis

Hangelind, Plectrophenax nivalis, Snow Bunting
Esmakordselt meie blogis - hangelind. See varblaseohtu linnuke elab ja pesitseb tundras, meil kohtab teda peamiselt rände ajal. Linnu nimi tuleb sellest, et hangelinnud magavad talvel lume all, et soojem oleks. Harjumaa.
First time in our blog - Snow Bunting. This small sparrow-sized birdy nests in tundra, in Estonia you can see it mainly during the migration. The name comes from the fact that the Snow Buntings sleeps under the snow during winter, to keep it warm.
