and now hybrid tit

I present tits picture taken in the area beyond the Urals Chelyabinsk. In the picture we see a similar tit for blue tit , but the closer you look, you can see the difference in plumage. Photographer Ivan Czernatkin who took this picture, it states that it is a hybrid blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) and azure tit (Cyanistes cyanus). The latter is common in this area. I put three photographs for comparison: blue tit, azure tit and hybrid.

birds of Siberia - azure tit

This time I present a tit like a common bird. It is the azure tit (Cyanistes cyanus). In Poland, nest 6 species of tits, of which 3 species are definitely forest and only see them there in the winter. Well, two years ago in the winter watching the herd of common tits and czyży I saw some tits azure highly visible with their bright coloration. I knew about them, but I met for the first time and this for a moment. In Western Siberia is a bird common. Here are some pictures of these birds.
