Birdwatching - 2020 🐦

🦉 The coal tit or cole tit (Periparus ater)

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

These mobile small birds prefer to live mainly in coniferous forests, but are also found in mixed forests, but in small numbers.
Every spring, when the snow melts, I go into the forest to see which birds have already flown in. And I always hear the singing of these birds. At this time they spend the mating season. I caught this male doing this action.

He was sitting on a tree and singing a song, I even managed to get close to him, and this is no wonder, because during the mating season, males have increased testosterone and are not as timid as during the rest of the year.
But with the onset of summer, these birds practically disappear somewhere, and you can only rarely see them.
