Great Tit
Great Tit
The Great Tit (Parus major) is the largest UK tit - green and yellow with a striking glossy black head with obvious bright white cheeks and a distinctive two-syllable song.

It is a woodland bird which has readily adapted to man-made habitats to become a familiar garden visitor.

It can be quite aggressive at a birdtable, fighting off smaller tits.

In winter it joins with blue tits and others to form roaming flocks which scour gardens and countryside for food.
