TITS
Tit, Bearded
Bearded Tits (Reedlings) are small birds with long tails, mainly found in large reedbeds where they feed on insects and reed seeds. They build their nests low down amongst the reeds, often on piles of dead reed stems.
Tit, Blue
Common, noisy, colourful and relatively tame, the Blue Tit is a favourite garden bird. It nests in boxes in gardens, although it's a struggle for parent birds to raise young in this environment due to the scarcity of caterpillars.
Tit, Coal
The coal tit is widespread throughout Europe and the UK. It's a garden bird in many places and in autumn and winter joins larger flocks of tits.
Tit, Crested
The crested tit is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread and common resident breeder in coniferous forests throughout central and northern Europe.
Tit, Great
The Great Tit is one of our most familiar garden birds. It's a big colour, bold and often aggressive Tit.
Tit, Long-tailed
Long-tailed tits are true masters of nest-building, creating elastic nests that can actually expand to accommodate their growing chicks. They achieve this by delicately weaving spider webs into the ball of feathers, moss and lichen. A larger nest can contain up to 2000 feathers.
So named for a tail longer than its body, the tiny long-tailed tit is a delightful visitor to any garden. These highly gregarious birds are a visual treat with their black, white and pinkish plumage, red eye rings and small black beaks. They gather in excitable flocks in the winter flitting through the treetops and hedgerows and roosting huddled together along branches.
Tit, Marsh
The Marsh Tit and the Willow Tit are difficult to tell apart as both have black caps, sandy-brown upper parts and buff underparts. Indeed, the two were only recognised as separate species at the turn of the last century.
Tit, Penduline
The penduline tit although a striking bird, can be rather difficuly to spot. Found mostly in and around reedbeds. Although, common in southest Europe but much rarer in the UK.
