As he inspects further, he’s joined by a gathering of birds who are also intrigued by the Christmassy statue. The adorable photographs were captured by Russian photographer Vadim Trunov, 31, after he spotted the woodland creatures in a forest in the Voronezh region of Russia. Vadim, of Voronezh, said: “In the winter, food becomes scarce and animals often search in the snow for something to eat.
