Taken in the garden today during the cloudy weather...
A colourful mix of blue, yellow, white and green makes the blue tit one of our most attractive and most recognisable garden visitors. In winter, family flocks join up with other tits as they search for food. A garden with four or five blue tits at a feeder at any one time may be feeding 20 or more.
Conservation Status: Green
Population:
Europe: 20-44 million pairs
UK Breeding: 3,600,000 territories
UK Wintering: 15 million birds
Blue Tits don't migrate so my theory why the Breeding and Wintering Population is so different because of the young which die from their first winter and don't make it too breed. The Blue Tit featured is actually a adult.
