Sometimes it is enough just to hide to see the wildlife around you. I hid in the thick bushes to rest and watch the recently captured footage, and then birds began to flock around me.

馃 The little bunting (Emberiza pusilla)

馃摎 Emberiza (Old German): embritz - bunting
pusilla (lat.) : pusillus - very small, tiny

This little bunting arrived first. She was eating something and jumping dexterously along the branches. And having heard the clicks of the shutter, she hurriedly went deep into the bushes and fled away.

馃 The willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus)

馃摎 Phylloscopus (Greek): phyllon - foliage, skopos - seeker, observer
trochilus (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

Then this bird appeared. She is insectivorous and, not finding food here, flew further.

馃 The Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus)

馃摎 Passer (lat.) - sparrow
montanus (lat.) - mountain

Many wild sparrows arrived later, they did not look for food, but simply cleaned their feathers and swore.

馃 Blyth's reed warbler (Acrocephalus dumetorum)

馃摎 Acrocephalus (Greek): acros - upper, pointed, kephale - head
dumetorum (lat ): dumetum - thicket, thickets, dumus - thorny bush

And the last one was this bird. She sat down on a branch and began to sing a song. As soon as I began to photograph her, she stretched out to her full height to look out from behind the leaves.
