Almost all the time I post a series of photos. So to speak, several pictures from one place and event. But it is not always possible to take several pictures, sometimes it is possible to take only one frame.
馃 The Eurasian nuthatch or wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea)
馃摎 Sitta sitt膿 (Greek) mentioned by Aristotle and other ancient Greek. by the authors of the bird, something similar to the woodpecker
europaea (lat.) European
This is a typical pose for nimble birds. They crawl along the tree and then stop, look around where to fly next.
馃 The fieldfare (Turdus pilaris)
馃摎 Turdus (lat) - Thrush
pilaris the etymology is mysterious, although it is now believed that pilaris in later Latin means simply thrush (Jobling, 2017). However, since lat. "pilus" hair, pilare to remove hair, but pila ball, pilaris anything related to ball, and pilarius is a juggler (and at the same time, the Greek "trikhos" is hair, and "trikhas" is a thrush!), all this puzzling. Two assumptions arise. First: when the fieldfare in summer, how usually pulls earthworms out of the ground, this can be associated with hair removal (pilare). Second: when in autumn and winter the fieldberry picks rowan berries and throws them up, swallows, it may resemble a juggler (pilarius).
This thrush moved in short dashes on the thawed ground. He didn't fly away. He slightly lowered his wings down, which indicates that he attracts females.
馃 The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)
馃摎 Dendrocopos Greek: dendron tree, copt艒 to hit, beat
major (lat.) large
And this female woodpecker sat on a tree and listened to the drumming of the males.
