🦉 The common redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus)
📚 Phoenicurus Greek: dark red phoinix, oura tail
It is difficult for a person who does not understand birds to imagine that such a bright and beautiful bird lives right in the courtyards of the city. Yes, lately I have been hearing these birds more and more often when walking past courtyards.
Near my house, almost right under the windows, a redstart lives in the bushes. And you know, sometimes I'm not very happy about this neighborhood. Because these birds sing at night! It's two o'clock in the morning, and this bird is sitting in the bushes and singing.
But for the most part, this bird is wild and lives in forests. And in the forest it is easiest to see them in the summer, when they already have a family and children. At this time, the male bravely protects them, shows danger, and tries to divert attention to himself in order to take them away.
