🦉 The Eurasian penduline tit or European penduline tit (Remiz pendulinus)
📚 Remiz (Polish) Remez, dates back to lat. remissus quiet, calm
📚 pendulinus pendulus (lat.) pendant (name - for a suspended nest)
I found this bird, or rather a pair of these birds, on flooded meadows in spring. Actually, this is their usual habitat, large open spaces next to water bodies and a large number of tall grasses and reeds.
Birds scurried about in the bushes and collected something from the ground. Most likely they collected material for the nest. O! And their nests are a real work of art!
The material is various fluff, feathers, wool, soft plant fibers, willow. In general, all the softest. And the nest itself is a kind of knitted mitten. Unfortunately, I was passing for a short time in these places, and could not see the end of the construction of this nest.
These birds feed on insects, spiders, and can eat seeds.
