🦉 The coal tit or cole tit (Periparus ater)

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

This little tit is not numerous in the forests of my city. At any time of the year, and in any forest, you can always find great tits and willow tits. But I have met this tit only since spring. Males actively sing songs, and thanks to this, these birds can be seen. But with the advent of summer, like all birds, it falls silent, and it is very difficult to see birds of this species.

This tit is sedentary, wintering, but I have not seen them in winter in forests and parks. This is most likely due to the fact that they prefer coniferous forests rather than mixed ones like in my city.
