RSPB West Sussex... Blue Tit.
Despite being so eminently familiar, perhaps it's easy to forget that the Blue Tit is one of our most stunning birds. It's positively exotic and if it were rarer there's little doubt people would travel a great distance to see one. With a striking yellow breast, dazzling white cheeks, a black 'bandit' mask, multi-coloured wings and a smart blue cap, it's surely our most attractive garden resident. But, there's something distinctly fascinating about the plumage, and that is the colour blue itself. The Blue Tit is the only tit to display blue plumage
