🦉 The willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus)
📚 Phylloscopus Greek: phyllon foliage, skopos seeker, observer
📚 trochilus trokhilos (Greek) is a small bird mentioned by Aristotle, later identified as "wren", but in Aldrovandus (1599) it is "a kinglet without a tuft"; trokhalos, trokhiscus (Greek) round, oval, curved, spherical; trochilus (lat.) semicircular, curved
It is difficult to say anything about this bird. 🤷♂️
Well, really, she is completely uninteresting, and she does not have any features that distinguish her from other birds.
Arrives in late April or early May, depending on the weather. This is important because the bird is insectivorous.
She has a beautiful voice, and her song is somewhat similar to the song of a chaffinch, only more tender. She is afraid of people, but not really, so you can approach it at an average distance to admire it or take a picture.
