🦉 The coal tit or cole tit (Periparus ater)

• Peri (Greek) very, hugely
• Parus (lat.) Tit
• ater (lat.) black, dark

I met these little birds in the fall. At this time, as I understand it, they migrate to coniferous forests. For some reason they really gravitate towards them. Even living in a mixed forest, they stick to places where coniferous trees grow, I don’t know why.

The bird is more timid than the familiar great tit, its sister. But in the spring, during the mating season, you can come close to a singing male, he will not be afraid, within reasonable limits, of course.
