Sinai Rosefinch

Carpodacus synoicus

The Sinai rosefinch, a member of the finch family Fringillidae, is a bird that graces the Middle East with its presence. This species, Carpodacus synoicus, is particularly noted for its affinity to the arid landscapes of the Sinai Peninsula and the Negev region.

Identification Tips

Observers should look for the characteristic pale rose coloration that adorns these birds. The males, in particular, showcase this hue more prominently, which serves as a delightful contrast against the sandy backdrops of their natural habitat.

Habitat

The Sinai rosefinch is well-adapted to life in hot deserts, where it has made a home for itself. The harsh conditions of these environments do little to deter this hardy species.

Distribution

One can find the Sinai rosefinch within the confines of Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Its range is a testament to its resilience and ability to thrive in some of the Middle East's most challenging terrains.

Conservation status

BirdLife International has assessed the Sinai rosefinch as being of Least Concern. This status reflects the bird's stable population and the absence of significant threats that could jeopardize its survival at present.

The Sinai rosefinch, with its subtle beauty and desert-dwelling ways, is not only a bird of scientific interest but also a symbol of national pride, as it is the national bird of Jordan.

Easy to use and accurate
Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!

Great app for beginner twitchers
I’ve had a passion of photographing birds for a long time now but have only just gotten into proper birdwatching, and this app is brilliant for those just getting started. There is a great sense of community among users and the app is very easy to use and professional. Awesome app altogether

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.
