🦉 The Siberian rubythroat (Calliope calliope)

📚 Calliope (ancient Greek mythology) Calliope - the eldest of the muses, the goddess of chants, the muse of epic poetry

Very funny nightingale, as well as beautiful and graceful. It is not clear to me when he arrives from wintering, when he appears in the forest. After all, until mid-July, I never met them. And no, he does not lead a secretive life, I would even say the opposite, he likes to demonstrate himself.

Every time I met these birds, the male sat on a separate well-visible branch and sang a song loudly. It's amazing that such a small bird makes such a loud sound.
Females, unlike males, do not have a beautiful bright spot on the throat.
