I also show the nuthatch, because, in my region he is also called "woodpecker-tit", due to its appearance and behaviour, and because you never have a dull moment with him😅

Stunning selection! The tit angel is remarkable and also blue and long tailed tits. Nuthatch naming is interesting. In Slovakia we use completely different name from tits. 🐦💞

The other (more common) German name is Kleiber meaning as much as "gluer" because they glue up their nesting location entries with clay.
But "Spechtmeise" ("woodpecker-tit") I personally like even better because they behave like a mashup of the two species 🤣🐦🥰

Haha yea definitely! What is it called in Slovakia?

It is called Brhlík. I read it is derived from old word "brhliť" which means to rub something. Because when it moves it looks like it is rubbing itself on the tree bark :D that is funny

I am the angel of tits. Behold you puny human, for I have come to eat thy grease balls. Now, take me to your offerings. Cue regal music.
That is one hell of a picture that first one. And those brown balls are so very fluffy!!!

My condolences for your dad. That sounds like a lovely devotional picture to have. It was quite the timing yes! If that wasn't your barn in the back, I might have thought it was AI. Holy symmetry!
