The Eurasian Blue Tit - Parus caeruleus (or Cyanistes caeruleus) - is the only bird native to Britain with blue and yellow plumage. It is a small bird 12cm (4.7in) long with a wingspan of 18cm (7.1in) which loves to eat aphids and other plant pests, grubs and some moths as well as the food we put out in the garden for them. They will nest wherever there is a suitable and safe hole whether that be in a tree, wall, stump or nest boxes and will return to the same hole year after year until one of the pair dies then that hole will more than likely be taken by another pair. This one was seen at Pennington Flash. This Picture is fully © Copyrighted.
