Birdwatching - 1846 🐦

🦉 The common redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus)

• Phoenicurus Greek: dark red phoinix, oura tail

At the beginning of spring, when there is no longer snow (and this is approximately the end of April), while walking through the forest, I hear a few songs of these birds. Yes, not very many of these birds live in our forests. And at this time it is not so easy to see the singer himself. The bird hides, does not expose itself like other birds do.

It's funny, these birds can nest right in city yards, as long as there are a lot of bushes around. But they do not spend the mating season in cities, and appear only in the summer.
