🦉 The Siberian rubythroat (Calliope calliope)

📚 Calliope (ancient Greek mythology) elder of the muses, goddess of chants, muse of epic poetry

Very beautiful thin graceful nightingale. It's hard for me to say when he arrives from winter. I don't see him often, and only in July. Where he disappears this time is unclear. However, it is quite easy to hear and see him. He deliberately sits on protruding branches so that everyone can see him.

He always keeps in the bushes where he spends almost all the time. But it can also sit on a tree branch, but not high. Sitting on a branch, he defiantly sings. And in his songs, you can easily recognize the voices of other birds, such as great tit, redstart, and many others.
Sexual dimorphism is pronounced, females do not have a red spot on the throat.

It's funny, but for some reason, my old video with this nightingale on YouTube got a crazy number of views for me.
