The kestrel is a bird belonging to the falcon order and is a distinct species. They inhabit virtually all of Eurasia except India. They do not inhabit tundra, mountainous, or steppe regions. Their favorite habitats are sparse forests with numerous clearings.

A member of the crow family, the jay is a beautiful and colorful bird. Its very name comes from the Old Russian verb "to shine."

The bird can reach 34-40 cm in length and stand up to 15 cm tall. It typically weighs approximately 140-200 grams. Its wingspan slightly exceeds 50 cm.

The black grouse is a fairly large bird belonging to the pheasant family, with a vast habitat, including forests, forest-steppes, and parts of the Eurasian steppe. It can be found throughout the Russian Federation. It is usually sedentary, but sometimes migrates in search of food. It prefers to live at the edges of forests and in large river valleys.

Not all regions offer favorable living conditions for birds year-round. Sometimes food becomes scarce or the environment deteriorates, forcing them to migrate to warmer climates. Some bird species make such migrations due to breeding habits.

The fieldfare belongs to the passerine order of the thrush family. It is a fairly large bird with a gray head, dark brown back, and gray uppertail coverts, which contrast sharply with the black plumage of its rather long tail. White axillaries can be seen on a flying thrush through binoculars.
