Ratel's photos #203 Forest Birds-153

The Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius)

Blue-eyed beauty, who flies into the forest only in winter. In winter, they eat old berries and seeds. I counted about 5 birds for the whole forest. They fly sometimes, but often alone. Look at the photo, the jay lifted a small tuft on his head. Thus, she carefully listened to the sounds I turn on to her.

The Eurasian treecreeper or common treecreeper (Certhia familiaris)

A small and interesting bird. She, like a nuthatch, deftly crawls on a tree. But, unfortunately, it can only crawl from bottom to top. Also, participates in mixed bird flocks.
But! Interesting this bird is not this ... Russian-speaking birdwatchers have a joke about this bird, which is called "Treecreeper Paradox". This paradox is lies in the fact, that this bird constantly hides in the shade, so it turns out , and the pictures turn out to be dark, the bird is poorly visible. In other words, the bird sits on a tree, behind the shaded side. It is rare when a bird can be photographed under normal lighting conditions. As you can see, I was lucky :)
