Bird of Day 33: Azure Tit

Cyanistes cyanus (formerly Parus cyanus)

The lovely little Azure Tit is a widespread and common resident breeder throughout Russia and central Asia. It is resident, and most birds do not migrate.

Cyanistes cyanus is 12-13cm and has unmistakable colour and markings. It is found in temperate and subarctic deciduous or mixed woodland, scrub and marshes.

The call of the Azure Tit is described as a dee, dee, dee or a scolding churr. The bird's song is a tsi-tsi-tshurr-tsi-tsi-tshurr.
