and blue tit settled the nesting box

Yesterday I wrote about starlings in my nesting box. Today the pair of blue tits, who also chose the booth as intended. For just two weeks the tits were looking into the new box. They came in and out, they sat on the nearby twigs. Recently I saw daily bustling around the box for fear that another couple would not take over. I hope it will be a good place to raise a new generation of these very small and useful birds. There was one more free shed for the tits or similar size of other henchmen. I think there will also be birds there.

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.
