🦉 The coal tit or cole tit (Periparus ater)
📚 Peri (Greek) very, hugely;
📚 Parus (lat.) Tit
📚 ater (lat.) black, dark
This cute bird also has the name "little tit", "mossy". It is one of the smallest tits.
I don’t meet her often, the fact is that this species prefers coniferous forests, and this is far outside the city, we have mixed forests on the outskirts. However, in spring I often see these birds. Some of them even stay in the summer and breed nestlings.
I saw this titmouse from the photos near a small pond. She jumped on the damp ground in search of food. Actively and noisily turned over the leaves.
By the time I was with her, she was already used to me, so she just went about her business and was not afraid of me.
