🦉 The Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius brandtii )
📚 Garrulus lat.: garrire to chat, babble, chirp, garrulus talkative, chirping, noisy; ax prone to..
📚 glandarius glandis, glans (lat.) acorn
📚 brandtii brandti, Fedor Fedorovich Brandt (Johann Friedrich von Brandt, 1802–1879), Russian zoologist and physician.
It is very strange, but I meet this beautiful corvid bird only in autumn. Where they spend time and live the rest of the year, I do not understand. Although in the summer I met once in a coniferous forest. I guess they prefer to be closer to the villages than to the noisy city.
This bird is called the "guardian of the forest". Probably because when she sees any danger, she warns everyone about it. And also very curious, and always flies to see what's going on. So it was that day. I fed great tits, willow tits and nuthatches, and this beauty saw all this movement and flew in too.
