Taken at Filham Park, a 34-acre country park which used to be part of the Filham Estate.
The Blue Tit is a colourful bird commonly found in gardens, woodlands, hedgerows, parks, and gardens. It has distinctive blue-green and yellow plumage, with a blue cap. Males tend to have slightly brighter colours than females. This species is a common resident breeder throughout Britain and Ireland, excluding the Northern Isles and parts of the Hebrides, with a stable population trend. Blue Tits often form mixed flocks with other tit species, particularly in winter. They typically nest in tree holes, laying eight to ten eggs once or sometimes twice a year.
