Birdwatching - 1902 🐦

🦉 Blyth's reed warbler (Acrocephalus dumetorum)

• Acrocephalus Greek: acros upper, pointed, kephale head
• dumetorum lat .: dumetum thicket, thickets, dumus thorny bush

This is what I noticed: these birds began to arrive later. In 2017-18, I remember that already at the very beginning of May they were rummaging around in the bushes, but now they appear later. I don't know why this is so.
These birds are also called “fourtysongster”. And all because the bird remembers the songs and voices of other birds heard nearby and uses this in its songs. And this sounds very interesting, especially if you understand bird calls.

In terms of behavior, the bird is a typical bush dweller, and it does not matter whether it is near a river, in a meadow, in a forest, or even in a city, as long as there are bushes.
