🦉 Siberian chiffchaff (Phylloscopus (collybita) tristis)
- Phylloscopus Greek: phyllon foliage, skopos seeker, observer
- ollybita collybista (lat.), kollybistēs, kollybos (Greek) money changer, small coin (name - for a song similar to the sound of falling coins)
- tristis sad, gloomy, mournful
These completely nondescript birds arrive around the 20th of April, when the snow has almost melted and the first insects on which these birds feed have already appeared.
It's noteworthy that these birds inhabit not only forests but also city parks and groves. In the neighboring region, however, there are no forests at all, only steppe, so they are forced to live right in yards where there are trees and shrubs.
The Siberian subspecies of these birds is known for having a more uniform coloring, but the most noticeable thing is, of course, the presence of a beautiful song.
