It’s hard to see in the picture, but I assure you, it’s a nest!)) It’s hard to see in the picture, but I assure you, it’s a nest!))
We mowed grass with Sasha. Well, how they mowed. He, dressed in an astronaut suit, (red raincoat, boots, and half-face glasses, and this is +30) waved the trimmer, and I walked behind and unwound the cord, supplied electricity, so to speak. The cat was the last to go and ate grasshoppers and other living creatures that scattered from the grass.
-Look, what is it? — Sasha pointed somewhere to the neighboring area.
I moved closer. Like a nest. Only big. The grass is clearly crumpled, and slightly twisted. Not bird-like, but similar. And what kind of bird is that? Ostrich?? And the top blades of grass hang down like a roof.
— A nest? — suggested Sasha.
-WHOSE???? — I was surprised.
We stood for a bit and moved on. And so hot, and Sasha is not at all sweet. Five meters later, the same thing again. Well, it’s definitely a nest! And there are only three of them on one side.
After swimming, we walked around the perimeter of the entire site. And there are nests everywhere. Do I need to say that from the moment of discovery, every free second we ran to see if anyone was at home? I don’t even know what I wanted more, to meet this mysterious animal, or not. You never know what kind of bird there is. And after all, there are no traces of vital activity, nothing! Maybe she’s just sleeping here!
Everything turned out unexpectedly. The cat stood up, stretched, and slowly waddled away.
-Where did the cat go? — Sasha asked in a whisper.
— He always goes somewhere! — I answered, and without saying a word we went after him.
This is where I found out what kind of bird it is)))
The cat came to one of the nesting sites and fell apart like at home. He saw us and got out with a grunt. Went to another rookery. But he realized that he was declassified, and went into the grass across the road. At the same time, the master class showed us how to build a nest. It turned out not difficult. You just walk in circles for half an hour. Here the grass curls into a “nest”, and if you lie down in a corner, then the stems will cover wonderfully. Use it to your health, the recipe is from Skizi, he does not mind passing on his knowledge further)))
