Wildlife : Birdwatching - 367

The Siberian rubythroat (Calliope calliope), female.

Very far into the forest, near a small river I saw some kind of a fluttering bird. I came closer as far as possible, there is a circle of vegetation. In the camera lens, I was able to see the female rubythroat nightingale. She had something white in her beak, and most likely it was chick dung.

A good place to nest them! It can not be approached by predatory animals, and besides, it is perfectly hidden under dense vegetation.
By the way, females behave more secretively than males. Males can sing very loudly and not pay attention to the fact that you are close to them.
