Late autumn, almost the beginning of winter, there are already frosts and gloomy weather. At this very time, we should expect the arrival of these northern birds.
And so it was. I went far out of town to a coniferous forest. And I heard a large flock of these birds there.

These birds react very easily and brightly to the alluring sound, so immediately several birds flew to the source of the sound, that is, to my bluetooth speaker where the voices of these birds sounded.

These birds also fly back to the north of the mainland early. Somewhere in February, as soon as there is the slightest hint of spring and warmth. But even in March, you can meet small flocks that fly far from the south.
