Blue tit.
Smaller than the great tit, very quick and agile. Early morning birds, at once when the first great tits have been around, the prudent blue tits are there. Sky blue crown, ringed with a white band; the cheeks are white too; black chin patch and some blueish-whte on the neck. The back shimmers in green, belly is yellow.
Blue tits often gather in reed banks in winter – good places for finding food.
The estimated winter number varies between 150 000 and 400 000.
