Ratel's photos #323 Forest Birds-256

The yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella)

I first met this bird! I read about them earlier, but could not meet them last year. This male sat among the thick bushes and sang a song. If at all it can be called a song.
It was very difficult to photograph him, because of the large number of branches, the bird was constantly hiding behind them, the focus was lost, I had to photograph with manual focus. The bird was rather cowardly, so after a few seconds it flew away from this place.

The Eurasian golden oriole (Oriolus oriolus) or simply golden oriole

And at the other end of the forest, at a cliff, the oriole was sitting on a branch and was looking at something. I managed to get to her silently, but a large number of bushes prevented me from getting even closer.
