Hello friends.
I'm not a wizard or a magician, I'm just learning to be one.
I'm completely lost in these Thrush. There's such a wide variety of them. But if there are big differences between them, then I understand that.
But a few days ago I met this bird. I know it's a Thrush. But which one? Is it a Song Thrush (Певчий дрозд), a Fieldfare (Дрозд-рябинник), or Wood Thrush (Древесный дрозд), just a Thrush, Ouzel?
I looked at several sites with descriptions of birds, looked at Wikipedia, and then decided not to bother much about this issue. Let this bird be a Fieldfare.
Friends, help me.
If you think about it, you can decide that there is just a person, without looking at his nationality or race.
But still with the birds in this matter is much more difficult.
I understand that this bird eats a lot of mountain ash in the fall, I saw how they literally ate all the berries from the tree in a few minutes. In autumn, they fly in large flocks. And now this fieldfare was hopping alone on the ground and looking for something in the soil, probably bugs, worms. Sometimes it looked very funny. It hopped up and down on two legs, as if it wanted to dive into the ground. But this way he got some bug out of the ground.
This place wasn't exactly the center of the city, but it wasn't the outskirts either. All around were four-and five-story houses, the so-called "Stalinist buildings"... Once upon a time, the party elite, Soviet officials, lived in these houses. And even now, these houses are in excellent condition, the area around them is landscaped. Near the houses there are coniferous trees, in which various birds are hiding.
Fieldfare was absolutely not afraid of me, although he sometimes looked in my direction. I was standing about 3 meters away from him. Probably, he was already used to people, because in the daytime this place is quite lively.
It turns out that I still figured out the question of identifying this bird.
