In winter, I very rarely go to the forest. It's very cold in winter, and I'm not worried about my health, but more about my photography equipment.
One winter day, when it was relatively warm around -13C degrees, I took a walk through the forest. Suddenly I heard a thin high whistle of great tits. This signal means "air attack". I began to look around, and with great difficulty saw the predator.
It was a sparrowhawk. He sat motionless on a branch, apparently looking around and hunting.
Small birds such as great tits, willow tits, nuthatches, and others are its food.
In general, I first saw this predator in this forest. And you know what, he even settled here, and still lives. Last year I even saw two of them, a male and a female.
