Ratel's photos #270 Forest Birds-212

The azure tit (Cyanistes cyanus)

This wonderful rare bird is listed in many regional red books as a rare species. Mostly she lives here in Siberia, but also she it can be seen in Kazakhstan.
They prefer living in mixed forests, as well as swampy areas.

In the summer, she feeds on insects, seeds for the rest of the year. However, like all the other tits.
On the video you can see how she plucks young buds of willow, and also gets out seeds from there.
I lured her to the sound from the speaker, and as you can see, she is very frisky and vigorously responds.

Very rarely they can be seen in a flock of other birds. Yes, they take part in mixed flocks, together roaming in search of food.
