Birdwatching - 1633 🐦

🦉 The common whitethroat or greater whitethroat (Curruca communis)

📚 Curruca is an unidentified bird name mentioned in the poems of the ancient Roman poet Juvenal
📚 communis (lat.) ordinary, common.

This bird is a typical bush dweller. And it doesn’t matter where these bushes are located, in the forest, in the meadows, the main thing is that there are bushes and that’s it. I took these photos both in the meadow and in the forest.
But of course, it is easiest to observe these birds in the meadow.

In early May, males actively sing, and at this time you can even approach them closer, but you need to take into account their "comfort zone". It is very easy to calculate it. You need to slowly come closer, and as soon as the bird starts grumbling hoarsely, it means that you have exceeded the boundaries and you need to step back a little. After that, the bird will again continue to do its own thing.
