π¦ The willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus)
π Phylloscopus Greek: phyllon foliage, skopos seeker, observer
π trochilus trokhilos (Greek) is a small bird mentioned by Aristotle, later identified as "wren", but in Aldrovandus (1599) it is "a kinglet without a tuft"; trokhalos, trokhiscus (Greek) round, oval, curved, spherical; trochilus (lat.) semicircular, curved
This small nondescript bird has a good voice. At the beginning of spring it is very pleasant to stop in the forest to listen to her songs. By the way, the song resembles the motifs of the finch song. I noticed that for the 2nd year now these birds have been arriving much earlier than it was 2 years ago. As a rule, their close relatives, the Siberian Chiffchaff, return first after wintering, and after some time this species also arrives.
The easiest way to see this bird is near fallen trees or low bushes. It is in such places in the deepening of the earth that the bird builds a nest.
The bird is not very afraid of people, so there will be no problems to get closer to it to observe.
