    That's what I wanted!

    Seems Great Tit found just the titbit he was after! He's looking grand for the end of the season, think he must have completed his post breeding moult.
  2. But who ARE you?

    But who ARE you?

    An immature Robin meets adult Great Tit and looks confused! In case you're wondering, a couple of seconds on and the Great Tit took fr(l)ight!!
  3. How long is he going to be

    How long is he going to be

    Think this is a female Great Tit, as the stripe is rather narrow. I thought she looked a bit concerned.
  4. Growing up

    Growing up

    I don't seem to post too many Great Tits, then suddenly two consecutively. This immature (which I think is a female), was waiting for a chance to get onto the peanut butter on the small branch.
  5. Planning his next move

    Planning his next move

    This Great Tit, I think, was planning where to head for next. There's feeders all over the place and it's necessary to pick wisely isn't it!

    A bit big for a small bill

    The Great Tit now seems rather pleased with his suet treat and within a couple of seconds he was off to eat it in private!

  10. How they do it

    How they do it

    This is for those who wonder why tits don't spend long at the feeders, and seem to know the exact moment that you're about to click the shutter timing it to the last nano second to fly off!! This Great Tit had, moments before, been on the peanut feeder. Grabbed one and flew up into a tree to...

    A young Great Tit had graduated to peanuts. Doesn't take them long, does it!!

  16. Learning curve

    Learning curve

    The young birds are on a steep learning curve, lessons they must learn before they have young of their own. This one has learnt a feeding trick from some adult! Great Tits grab a seed from wherever, then fly up into the nearest tree, holding it between their toes to eat it. There's one crucial...
  17. Not a fledgling

    Not a fledgling

    but a juvenile Great Tit this time. Doing well, isn't he.
  18. Looking benign

    Looking benign

    This one doesn't appear to be such a bully boy in this picture I don't think. Though Great Tits sure know how to defend themselves and hold their ground (except maybe from Blue Tits LOL)
  19. Battle for top dog

    Battle for top dog

    Now it's a Great Tit wanting to beat up a male Chaffinch, for feeding rights over the peanuts (or the seed which I put on the shelf!
  20. Oooh

    Oooh

    This Great Tit appears to be delighted with his selected item, anyway the next second he was off with it and all I got then was a blur of wings!

    Big boy

    A Great Tit emerged from behind a branch; there's a bit of a hole in the middle of that post, and I put a little seed in there for them to find. Would you believe that that branch is now about 2 feet above the post! I can't believe the tree has grown that much in a few months??

    Great tit or Chaffinch call? Spain

    Hi all, I'm currently annotating bird calls and songs from an olive grove in Madrid province, Spain. This recording is from December of 2020. All recordings were made automatically from a passive audio device, both species are common in the area. I was wondering if anyone is aware of any way...
