Ratel's photos #254 Forest Birds-196

The azure tit (Cyanistes cyanus)

Surprisingly, on a flooded meadow, I met this rare titmouse. Basically, she lives in the forests, but as you can see, it can be found in the steppe regions. Next to this bird, the second bird flew. Most likely it was a male. At the end of April, the birds begin to create pairs, and the male takes care of the female, feeds her. And this titmouse herself hopped over the willow and ate her sprouts, which made me understand that this is a female.

The fieldfare (Turdus pilaris)

This thrush saw me, jumped out of the foliage and began to crack unhappily. He warned his fellow about danger in the form of me. In encyclopedias I read that if you go to their territory, where a whole colony of birds dwells, they can pick you up with dung. I'm always cautious, and I do not freak out the bird, so I did not experience it myself :)
