🦉 The Siberian stonechat or Asian stonechat (Saxicola maurus)
📚 Saxicola (lat ): saxum rock, stone, -cola inhabitant
📚 maurus (lat.): Moorish, black
These birds live in open spaces such as fields, meadows, clearings and forest edges. But that day I met this family in an uncharacteristic area for them, where I had not met them before. It was a coastline, near which there is a forest, and next to it is a small narrow meadow. There I saw these birds, in the composition of the father, mother. and three teenagers.
As expected, these birds perched on the tops of tall grass, as they like to do. Parents closely watched their children and shouted about dangers, including about me. But these birds are not particularly afraid of people and allow you to get closer to them, of course, at a reasonable distance.
