馃 The fieldfare (Turdus pilaris)
馃摎 Turdus (lat) - Thrush
馃摎 pilaris the etymology is mysterious, although it is now believed that pilaris in later Latin means simply thrush (Jobling, 2017). However, since lat. "pilus" hair, pilare to remove hair, but pila ball, pilaris anything related to ball, and pilarius is a juggler (and at the same time, the Greek "trikhos" is hair, and "trikhas" is a thrush!), all this puzzling. Two assumptions arise. First: when the fieldfare in summer, how usually pulls earthworms out of the ground, this can be associated with hair removal (pilare). Second: when in autumn and winter the fieldberry picks rowan berries and throws them up, swallows, it may resemble a juggler (pilarius).
As soon as the snow melts, these birds appear in forests and parks. In the midst of the mating season, the behavior of these birds is significantly different from other seasons.
In the spring, they can literally walk around you without fear at all.
And therefore this is the most favorable time to watch these birds and take a photo.
In summer, these birds are busy with their family and no longer allow you to approach them. They are secretive and shy. It is the same in autumn, but at this time you can carefully and quietly get close to a flock of these birds during their lunch on rowan bushes.
