🦉 The Siberian stonechat or Asian stonechat (Saxicola maurus)

• Saxicola (lat ): saxum rock, stone, -cola inhabitant
• maurus (lat.): Moorish, black

In mid-spring, when there is no longer snow, it is warm, and insects have appeared, you can wait for the arrival of these birds. They live in open spaces, namely meadows and fields, but these birds do not need a lot of space, so they can even settle on a small lawn in the forest.

The male climbs to the top of plants or tall grass and carefully observes the surroundings while the female collects building materials and builds a nest, which is located on the ground, well hidden under the grass.
