This bird in the forest is as familiar and numerous as the chaffinch. And she is also an excellent singer, whose song even has something similar to the song of a chaffinch.
These birds arrive in late April or early May, depending on the weather, which means it depends on the number of insects.

It is easy to meet this bird, even in summer. They prefer to live in the lower tier of the forest, in fact, they equip their nests in the bushes and on the ground.
