Photographer’s Note
For those who like the images of fauna and birds note that I opened an account on TrekNature...
Blue tit
Parus caeruleus
Its colourful mix of blue, yellow, white and green make the blue tit one of the most attractive resident garden birds. Almost any garden with a peanut feeder will attract them and they readily breed in nestboxes. In winter they form flocks with other tit species and a garden with four or five at a bird table at any one time, may be feeding 20 or more.
Where does it live?
Breeding
Mainly deciduous woodland, especially likes oak trees. Has adapted to gardens with mature trees or nestboxes. Also found in parkland, hedgerows and conifers.
Wintering
Woodland birds often move into suburban gardens in severe weather.
Where to see it
A common woodland and garden bird, also seen along hedgerows and in most places with trees and bushes.
What does it eat?
Insects, caterpillars, seeds and nuts.
What does it sound like?
A high pitched, trilling song; churring alarm call and high call notes.
When to see it
All year round.
