🦉 The western yellow wagtail (Motacilla flava)
📚 Motacilla lat .: mōto, mōtare move continuously, -cilla tail (cilla like a tail -
only in ornithology, erroneous established name)
📚 flava flavus (lat.) yellow, gold, golden yellow
One of the most numerous birds on the outskirts of my city, where there are meadows near the lake and river. They can already be found in early May.
Here is a sample photo of these places. These birds live in such open spaces, you will never meet them in the forest.
And this lake is located in the middle of this meadow.
Birds are not very shy, they easily get used to people. If you make them understand that you are not a danger, then they can continue to go about their business, namely the search for material for nests and the search for food.
