🦉 The azure tit (Cyanistes cyanus)

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

In my city, and in the region as a whole, this is a very rare species of tits. This fall, I finally met them again, and before that I had not seen them since 2018. But, on the other hand, I regularly meet them every year in the neighboring region when I go to visit my relatives.

Apparently, these birds prefer to live in bushes near the water, and the steppe is full of flooded meadows in which low bushes grow. In such a meadow, I observe them every year.
And only recently, during our last meeting, I realized how they differ from other birds of this Paridae family. They are very agile and mobile! None of the tits do somersaults on branches to get food like they do.
