The county has changed its flag. On 28 January 2010 the County Council adopted new symbols. The old symbols were adopted in 2002.
Here an automatic translation from this
webpage:
The new CoA of the Bielsk County present on the face of the two-lane:
the top field, White Eagle, red with gold (yellow) beak, gold (yellow)
feet and a gold (yellow) crown on his head in the bottom field an silver
an red bull with yellow horns and hooves.
The CoA were subjected to two own style. Tour, although a figure of
the emblem of the urban district of the capital - Podlaski Bielsko, not
its literal repetition. The coat of arms appears tur static. More appropriate
emblem for the earth was to give the figure of expression and clarity.
Tour in a dynamic symbol of the strength of the Bielsko region. Theme of
the White Eagle was chosen as a symbol of appeal to the district belonging
to the Podlaskie region and its history (including the junction with Crown
Podlasie). Due to the remote county of our birth certificate, existing
in the sixteenth century, the relationship of the Podlaskie voivodship
is particularly felt. So the eagle is the emblem of regional and even refers
to the original coat of arms Podlaskie, has its own styling. Image of Eagle
County in the coat of arms Bielski emphasizes the historic importance of
Bielsko County, in the Old Republic with its own flag and its own seal.
At the county seal in the eighteenth century could see the image of eagle
without a crown - but to the establishment of the Regional Assembly of
Podlaskie voivodship podlaskiemu modern eagle with a crown on his head,
and the coat of arms of Eagle County placed in the crown.
Flag of Bielsko County presents in the form of rectangular clouth, consisting of eight red-white stripes, which appears in the center the CoA of Bielski County. The colors were derived from the color of the shield fields. The ratio of the width of the flag to its length is 5:8.
