Thank you dear nelinoeva@nelinoeva for the competition. You can read the announcement and rules here.
This week's theme is - small birds.

alt


The little bunting (Emberiza pusilla)

This is the smallest bird of this species (buntings). And she really likes to hide in the bushes, so it’s not easy to photograph her.

The little stint (Calidris minuta or Erolia minuta)

This is one of the smallest sandpipers I've seen. He is literally the size of a sparrow.

alt


The coal tit or cole tit,[2] (Periparus ater)

And this is one of the smallest species of tits. But it is quite an interesting bird; it has a tiny crest on its head. She is also able to stockpile food for times of famine.

alt


The willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus)

The birds of this family are small themselves. And they are quite inconspicuous, if not for their pleasant voice, it is especially pleasant to listen to songs in the spring.

alt


The European robin (Erithacus rubecula)

This little bird is quite amazing. And it is surprising in that it is quite frost-resistant, despite the laws of thermodynamics (the smaller the bird, the faster it freezes, in short). She arrives early in the spring and flies away quite late.

alt


The lesser spotted woodpecker (Dryobates minor)

And this is the smallest woodpecker, again the size of a sparrow.
