Blue Tit

Sitting among the UK's more colourful common species, the blue tit is easily recognisable thanks to its namesake plumage, and is a welcome sight in woodland, gardens and (you guessed it) parks!

Outside of the breeding season, this small species can often be seen feeding alongside other members of the tit family, such as the great tit, coal tit and long-tailed tit. Advantages of this mixed-species foraging flock include increased feeding efficiency and better protection from predators like sparrowhawks.
