Birdwatching - 1837 🐦

🦉 The Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius brandtii )

• Garrulus lat.: garrire to chat, babble, chirp, garrulus talkative, chirping, noisy; ax prone to..
• glandarius glandis, glans (lat.) acorn
• brandtii brandti, Fedor Fedorovich Brandt (Johann Friedrich von Brandt, 1802–1879), Russian zoologist and physician.

To begin with, it is worth saying that this is a Siberian subspecies of jays. And Siberian jays are the most beautiful! They, unlike other subspecies, have bright orange plumage.
However, this subspecies is quite cowardly, unlike the others, which can easily visit bird feeders in parks.
I see these jays every autumn. And there is a funny moment. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but when I hear the croaking calls of these birds in my yard, it means these birds have appeared in the forest. I live next to a forest, and apparently in the fall they fly in from other forests.

And in the summer I see these birds in a coniferous forest far from the city.
The bird is very curious, and will definitely fly around some event in the forest. It’s not for nothing that they are called “guardians of the forest.”
