馃 The Eurasian wryneck or northern wryneck (Jynx torquilla)
- Jynx iynx, iyngis (Greek, Lat.) wryneck ; Iynga in ancient Greek. mythology, a beautiful nymph, the daughter of the god of the forest Pan and the nymph Echo, who possessed the magic of a love spell, but for this Hera, the wife of Zeus, turned her into a nondescript wryneck.
- torquilla torquere (lat.) to twist, bend, turn (name - for the snake twisting of the neck and head in a hollow in danger)
Despite its appearance and way of life, this bird still belongs to the species of woodpeckers.
This is weird. but I met this bird in these photos in an unusual area for it, in the meadows. These birds live only in forests. Since they themselves do not hollow out hollows, it is important for them that there are old abandoned woodpecker nests on the trees in the forest that do this.
By the way, there is a large river nearby, and on the other side of the bank there is a forest, and this bird probably flew from there.
