		Unfortunately, Snook Cottage’s holiday residents had turned up and the kids had already been up the tree, the skies had cleared and the light wind had taken a northwesterly direction.

		Suddenly Tommy, the trip photographer, veered towards a lone bush so, thinking he was aiming his lens at the Rosefinch, all remaining 19 of us homed in on the same bush.

		Both were presented to me by the late Professor Maury Meiklejohn, with the nerve-wracking enjoinder ‘I can see the rosefinch’s bill and wingbars, Ian, but you will have to help with the bunting.
		In 1992, when the Common Rosefinch, as it is now called, bred successfully at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire and on the Suffolk coast, its addition to the regular breeding birds of Britain seemed imminent.
		Since the late 1970s, the number of British and Irish records has grown so noticeably in spring that this trend, and particularly the 1992 influx, are likely to be associated with the much-increased breeding population of southern Fenno-Scandia.

		Female Vinaceous Rosefinches will often clean the area surrounding their nests which are constructed of moss and cobwebs.

		The main features of the tour were a visit to the huge lake and wetlands of Koko Nor, and the desert region beyond, followed by a long tour of the Tibetan plateau, crossing several high passes and visiting two forest reserves with somewhat different avifaunas.
		A bird of rocky summits - undoubtedly the hardest-to-get rosefinch on the trip: we were lucky to see a pair feeding at close range.
		We were all able to watch this little-known, restricted-range species as the birds fed for extended periods on wildflowers and gathered nest material.
