Latin name: Parus caeruleus
Size: Grows to around 11.5cms
Distribution: Found throughout the UK.
Months seen: All year.
Habitat: Woodlands, parks and gardens.
Food: Seeds in winter, and insects in summer.
Special features: The blue tit was originally a woodland bird, but it is now commonly seen feeding and nesting in gardens.
In Britain, the female lays 7 to 14 eggs, between April and June, but there is only one batch each year.
Although there are a large number of chicks in each brood, many die or are killed by predators within the first few weeks of leaving the nest.
Their acrobatic abilities make them the most frequently seen birds on garden bird tables and peanut
feeders.
