🦉 The redwing (Turdus iliacus)

• Turdus (Latin) thrush
• iliacus ilia (lat.) sides, iliacus with sides (i.e. with red sides)

I have already written about these two charming creatures. I met them on my way to the forest, in an old cemetery. There are always a lot of thrushes in these places, especially in spring, the conditions for their life are favorable, there are trees, bushes, and a lot of their favorite food - earthworms. So it is not surprising that they nest here.

These young thrushes were waiting for their parents with food. They behaved quietly, not attracting attention, but sometimes they walked along the path and graves, coming out into the open where they could easily be seen by a predator in the form of a black kite or a sparrowhawk. Therefore, having seen young birds in nature, look around carefully, birds of prey may be interested in what you saw so interesting.
