🦉 The willow tit (Poecile montanus)
📚 Poecile poikilis (Greek) an unidentified small bird mentioned in ancient texts
📚 montanus (lat .) : mōns, montis mountain, mountain range, montanus mountain
Even if you have never met this bird before, looking at it, you can immediately determine that it belongs to the Paridae (tit) family.
Nimble, frisky and agile, that's how you can describe this bird. In addition, she is not very afraid of people, which allows her to be well studied, photographed and observed.
This bird lives in coniferous and mixed forests, and towards the end of autumn it flies to cities and towns, where it willingly sows feeders in parks and yards.
From the beginning of spring, while there is still snow and it is cool, but the sun is warm, you can hear the singing of the male - monotonously repeated melancholy whistles. And what seems to be calls, they have a hoarse, buzzing sound, which is completely different from the voice of birds of this family.
