Yesterday I went to the forest which is not far from my house. The weather was hot and stuffy.
Everything in the forest is already overgrown and green all around. Summer has come.

alt

Rosefinches have already arrived, which are one of the last to arrive. And no, it's not a female, it's a young male. Due to his age, he does not yet have that beautiful pink plumage, but he already sings songs like an adult male.

alt

This beautiful Oriole was flying over a small area, which made me understand that it was guarding its territory.

alt

The icterine warbler. With this bird I had to tinker. Yes, it may look unsightly, but it is just very rare. Approximately one or two birds for the entire forest. She has a funny voice, I don鈥檛 even know what to compare it to, it probably sounds like a squeaky dog toy.

alt

The mating season of the redwing thrush is already over, but some birds still sing.

alt

And their brothers, fieldfare, are already carrying food to the nestlings.

alt

Blyth's reed warblers have also already arrived and sitting in the bushes sing their various songs.

alt

And the greenfinches no longer sing. This male quietly flew in and sat on a branch. No wonder, because they flew back in mid-March.

alt

And this pair of wrynecks "made children" before my eyes.

alt

This female redstart was looking for food on the ground, and in the meantime her male was sitting on a branch and watching me.

alt

Chaffinch, of course, how could it be without him? But I met only males, the females probably already sat on the nests.

alt


alt

Everywhere in the forest, as well as in the city, bird cherry blossoms.

alt

In the bushes, as expected, I met a common whitethroat. The bird sang songs and fussed at the bottom of the bushes.
As soon as I approached, the bird growled with displeasure and crawled out of the bushes to look at me.

alt

And when I started to leave, she decided to cosplay Jean Claude Vandamme.

alt

I came across a very strange thrush fieldfare on the path. He jumped out of the grass and jumped along the path, running away from me. Finally he flew away.

alt

Some tree pipit are still courtship display.

alt

I came to a puddle where last time I met two ducks. There were no ducks in it, but there was ...

alt

The grey wagtail ! Also known as mountain wagtail. This rare bird lives in mountain forests near streams. In this forest, I very rarely meet this bird, which should live in the mountains. Amazing!

alt

By the way, strawberries are growing.

alt

And also a lot of bracken grows. At this time, he has a bizarre shape.

alt

I don鈥檛 know what kind of plant this is, but it is still beautiful, then these orange flowers disappear.
