🦉 The coal tit or cole tit (Periparus ater)

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

This tiny bird is also called the "little tit" or "mossy." It is one of the smallest tits, weighing only 9 grams. This miracle lives mainly in coniferous forests, but in small numbers they can also be found in mixed forests.

In winter, I rarely see them, only occasionally near the bird feeders in the city park. But with the arrival of spring, I always hear the male actively singing a song that is somewhat reminiscent of the great tit.
