🦉 The coal tit or cole tit (Periparus ater)

📚 Peri (Greek) very, hugely;
📚 Parus (lat.) Tit
📚 ater (lat.) black, dark

One of the smallest tits. Strange, but it is found much less frequently than the other species of tits that are familiar to me, which can be found at any time of the year. I do not understand what it is connected with.
These little birds come across to me only in spring and autumn. In the spring, it is easiest to meet them when they have a mating season. Males already in early April, when there is still snow, begin to sing songs.

In autumn I rarely come across them, usually in small flocks of 3-5 birds, and it seems that they fly somewhere from these places, although they are not migratory.
