🦉 Siberian chiffchaff (Phylloscopus (collybita) tristis)
- Phylloscopus Greek: phyllon foliage, skopos seeker, observer
- ollybita collybista (lat.), kollybistēs, kollybos (Greek) money changer, small coin (name - for a song similar to the sound of falling coins)
- tristis sad, gloomy, mournful
In appearance, this bird is unremarkable, grayish-brown, with a barely noticeable light eyebrow, a classic "little brown bird" that is easy to miss among the foliage. There is nothing remarkable about her behavior either. Roughly speaking, she is a completely uninteresting bird.
The Siberian subspecies is of much greater interest. The common chiffchaff has a monotonous song consisting of one sound, which the bird repeats. But the Siberian subspecies has a song consisting of different tonalities and it sounds cheerful, despite the name of the bird.
