What birds might you see?

Blue tit

D_2007_21301_5581 - BGBW 2008 USE ONLY Blue tit on broken plant pot in garden

Its colourful mix of blue, yellow, white and green make the agile blue tit one of the most attractive garden birds.

They can be found flitting onto bird feeders, or feeding on seeds and scraps left on bird tables and on the ground. And almost any garden with a peanut feeder will attract them.

In winter, family flocks of blue tits are joined by great tits, long-tailed tits and other woodland species, as they search for food.

A garden with four or five at a bird table at any one time, may be feeding 20 or more birds. The blue tit was seen in 77 per cent of gardens during the 2008 Birdwatch.
