馃 The azure tit (Cyanistes cyanus hyperrhiphaeus)

- cyanus Greek: kyanos dark blue
- hyperrhiphaeus Greek: hyperrhe艒 to overflow, phaios dark, dull
In order to meet and see this beautiful tit, you need to know where they live. Namely, you need to look near rivers. But it鈥檚 not a fact that you will meet them. After all, they are quite rare.
But in the steppe zone I meet them every year, consistently in flooded meadows.
In addition to its cute appearance and color, this species of tit differs from all its other brethren. And it is distinguished by its dexterity. When birds of this family inspect branches and leaves in search of food, they do not, so to speak, do it diligently with all their might. If they can鈥檛 get something, reach it, then they throw it away and simply look elsewhere. But this type of tit will stretch to the very tips of the branches, will tumble while holding on to one leg and holding food in the other.
