This bird is surprisingly one I remember reading about as a kid in a children's book about the wildlife of Russia's forests, I wasn't a birdwatcher back then, but it was definitely a spark bird that made me want to see it later in my life.

Thank you for sharing this amazing shot of this beautiful (bird) giant of the conifer forests of Eurasia.
