Great tit
Bigger than blue tits, great tits are green and yellow with a striking glossy black head, white cheeks and a distinctive two-syllable song. The black breast stripe is wider on males. Great tits feed on seeds and scraps either left on the ground, or on bird tables and in nut feeders. It can be quite aggressive at a birdtable, fighting off smaller tits. In winter, family flocks of great tits are joined by blue tits, long-tailed tits and other woodland species as they search for food. It is a woodland bird which has readily adapted to man-made habitats to become a familiar garden visitor. The great tit was seen in 52 per cent of gardens surveyed during the 2008 Birdwatch.
