Birdwatching - 1876 🐦

🦉 The Siberian stonechat or Asian stonechat (Saxicola maurus)

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

I love to walk through the meadow outside the city in early May. Just at this time these birds, of which there are many in these places, are already arriving. And at this time they are actively building nests. The female looks for material, builds a nest, while the male, sitting comfortably on the top of the thickets, watches the territory and protects it.

In the summer, offspring appear that also like to sit on the tops of tall grass or thickets; this is such a feature of this bird species. And at this time, parents catch various insects to feed their children.
