The lovely little Long-Tailed Tit - Aegithalos caudatus – is apparently also known as the Long-Tailed Bushtit but I have never heard anyone say it. These lovely little birds fly in small groups along hedgerows and treelines leapfrogging each other in the search for insects and other delicacies. Luckily this one kept still long enough for me to take his picture at Pennington Flash. This Picture is fully © Copyrighted.

The Great Tit - Parus major - is the largest of the Tit family and is a very common sight in gardens, woodland and many other habitats. They eat insects, seeds, berries and nuts as well as offerings at bird tables etc. This one was seen at Pennington Flash. This Picture is fully © Copyrighted.

The lovely little Long-Tailed Tit - Aegithalos caudatus - is also known as the Long-Tailed Bushtit and is a common bird found throughout Europe. Easily recognised by their distinctive colouring, very short beak and a tail which is longer than its body they eat mainly insects but will also enjoy seeds in autumn and winter. Because of their diet, they can be seen anywhere that insects can be found, especially where bushes and shrubs are prevalent. This one was seen enjoying a freebie at Pennington Flash, Leigh.

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.
