This week's topic is - FREE THEME How about Nightingales? There are 4 species of nightingales living in my region.

The Siberian rubythroat

This beautiful red-fronted nightingale loves to sing demonstratively, and you can even get close to it during these moments. Unfortunately, I rarely see them, and it's unclear when they arrive, as I only see them in June.

The thrush nightingale

This fellow is also known as the common nightingale. I've encountered them in the bushes near the riverbank, in mixed forests, and even on the outskirts of town.

The bluethroat

These colorful nightingales are found in open spaces filled with dense vegetation, tall grasses, and shrubs. Unlike other nightingales, they don't sing ostentatiously, but rather perch deep in the undergrowth, occasionally flying up and down.

The Siberian blue robin

There's some confusion about this bird. We call it the "blue nightingale," but it's not related to nightingales at all; it's essentially a flycatcher. And it looks like a redstart with different colors. Incidentally, it's a very, very rare bird.
