This week's topic is - FREE THEME
There is about a week left before the arrival of the white wagtail, so I had the idea to show a selection of birds from this family.
Citrine wagtail
These yellow spots in the middle of the grass live in steppe zones, and are especially numerous in flooded meadows.
Richard's pipit
This species also lives in the same steppe areas, but I have encountered it much less frequently, especially since, thanks to its plumage, it literally blends into the landscape.
Tree pipit
This wagtail inhabits forests. It's easy to spot, as the male sings actively and makes ostentatious, graceful flights while singing. However, when hungry, the bird stays on the ground, where it's perfectly camouflaged, and can only be spotted when moving.
Yellow wagtail
These wagtails live in meadows, and they're right on the outskirts of my town. And they're very easy to photograph, especially in the spring before the thickets get too thick.
Grey wagtail
This is a very strange species. We call it the "mountain wagtail" because it lives in mountainous areas. However, I occasionally see these birds in mixed forests.
White wagtail
And of course, the most numerous and popular wagtail. It's expected to appear in my city this week or next.
