Without, were heard the sounds that told of the happy waking of the countryside, the blades of grass sighed out content, the damp leaves dried themselves in the warmth, the birds pruned their feathers and took a first flit round.
Снаружи доносился веселый шум просыпающихся полей: привольно вздыхали травы, обогревались на солнышке листья, приглаживали свои перышки и вспархивали птицы.

Among low bushes and in clearings there are often little grey birds which constantly flit from tree to tree, and which whistle as they dart away.
В низких кустах, «в мелочах», и на осечках часто держатся маленькие серые птички, которые то и дело перемещаются с деревца на деревцо и посвистывают, внезапно ныряя на лету.
