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.

Sense of Community
A great app, which is continually being improved. What really comes through is the passion of those behind the app. The sense of community is brilliant, so much help and support provided to new and/or in experienced birders.

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!
