🦉 The azure tit (Cyanistes cyanus)

📚 Cyanistes kyaneos (Greek), cyaneus (Latin) dark blue
📚 cyanus Greek: kyanos dark blue

A very, very rare bird in my region. If my memory serves me right, then it seems to be even listed in the red book of the region.
The last time I saw these birds was in the autumn of 2018. That year, I generally met them often. And after and still never. However, in the neighboring region, I regularly meet them once a year.

And I meet them in flooded meadows. In principle, there are no forests in the neighboring region, mainly the steppe zone. And apparently these white birds prefer to live in such places.

These birds from these photos were met by me just in such places. There are large flooded meadows with shrubs. Birds in the amount of 4 flew from bush to bush in search of food, they were especially interested in freshly swollen buds.
