(European) Blue Tit
Cyanistes caeruleus

One of the most common and recognisable garden birds in the country. They are often very tame and are great acrobats. In winter, they often form large flocks with other tits and birds such as Treecreepers and some over-wintering warblers. These are all adults, except for the last whch is a juvenile, as told by the green face.
