This week's theme (ROUND 254)
SHOW ME A PICTURE OF BIRD. FREE THEME

Hey, @nelinoeva. How are you?
Real frosts have come to our region this week. In some areas of the region, the temperature dropped below -35 degrees. In our village, against the background of this news, the night looked warmer; it was only -27.
I didn't go to the office today; I stayed to work remotely from home and watched the birds at the feeder.
I noticed a feature a long time ago that few birds come to the feeder in the cold. But why? Probably, the birds are sitting in their warm secluded places, saving their strength and warmth.
Today, my main visitor to the cafe was this robber with a blindfold.
Those readers who like to watch cartoons and remember Scrooge McDuck should also remember The Beagle Boys, who were always blindfolded.

This is a Blue Tit, a small tit with a distinctive bright blue hat on its head and a blindfold over its eyes, as if this bird were going to rob a bank like a gangster. Эта маленькая птица всегда прилетает к кормушке в одиночку, никогда не бывает второй такой птицы. Это мне кажется даже странным. В этом Мире всякой живности должно быть пара или больше, чтобы продолжалась жизнь.

A small bird, with a very tiny body, considering that the bird's volume is given by warm fluff, which helps the bird survive the cold. Of course, the bird is energized by the food that I put in the feeder every evening so that the birds can gain strength in the morning.

I recently talked about the Redpolls, which come in a flock this winter, but today there were only 2 Redpolls, and it seems to me that they didn't even eat, but just sat on a pear tree for a while and then flew away.

An interesting point is that usually a frosty day is sunny and the Sun even tried to show itself to us in the morning, but it could not break through the solid clouds. Maybe this influenced the fact that the forecast of a real frost of -35 degrees did not come true.
I hope that the thermometer will show a higher temperature tomorrow.

PS. I completely forgot to write that 3 beautiful jays also flew to me today.
