Yeah.... he's getting old, isn't he Daniel LOL

Such lovely teen colours he's showing isn't he. I'm sure he'll grow into a very handsome guy!!!

Re my Coal Tit and your chickadees. It's a bit more complicated than that. The Coal Tit is ummm like a second or third cousin, as they're in the genus Pereparus. Whereas your chickadees are in the genus [COLOR="Blue"]poecile[/COLOR], along with our Marsh and Willow Tits.

You can see how all this plays out [COLOR="Blue"]here[/COLOR].

Hope that makes sense?


They are, though all still in the family Paridae

I think this is very charming, Daniel! He looks so unsure of himself.
