🦉 The white wagtail (Motacilla alba)
📚 Motacilla lat .: mōto, mōtare move continuously, -cilla tail (cilla like a tail -
only in ornithology, erroneous established name)
alba (lat.) white
In early spring, I very often see these birds near the coastal forest. They walk along the paths that have melted from the snow, actively swinging their long graceful tail. These birds have become synanthropic and since winter they come to live in cities. In my yard, I always hear these birds.
🦉 The redwing (Turdus iliacus)
📚 Turdus (Latin) thrush
iliacus ilia (lat.) sides, iliacus with sides (i.e. with red sides)
This is a very strange species of thrushes. Unlike the rest, he is very shy at any time of the year. It is quite difficult to take a high quality photo.
They have a strange spring song that is difficult to remember because it contains chaotically arranged sounds and mutters.
🦉 The common chaffinch or simply the chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)
📚 fringilla (lat.) - finch; fi nco (Old German), fi nc (Old English)
caelebs coelebs (lat.) - single, idle, unmarried
Well, this is a female chaffinch. They are less common than males, because males are very active in defending their territories and marking their borders.
