A Study of the Coal Tit


The Coal Tit (Parus ater
Not so common as the Blue Tit, you have to go searching for this species.
Conifer trees is one of its favourite haunts.
It will visit bird tables and although small will dominate larger species.

  1. Some super portraits here. I love to watch them nipping in and out of the bird-feeders to the dismay and obvious annoyance of the larger birds. Like naughty little boys and girls running out of the sweetshop!

  2. A brilliant set of portraits Roy. I am lucky to have them visit every day. They spend all day grabbing black Sunflower seeds and hiding them for future meals.

  4. Stunning photos Roy, we have them in the garden but they are so fast in and out feeders.... we seem to have more than Great tits visiting the garden, having said that there numbers are up this year. We have had always Sparrows up to 20+ at a time but this year we are down to 3 or 4 at any one time.....

  5. Lovely photos - they're handsome little birds. We get them regularly in the garden usually along with various other members of the tit family.

  8. We all have a soft spot in our heart for the tits. When I fill my feeders in the morning, all of the birds head for the trees. The Black-capped Chickadees always come down to the post and wait for me to hang the feeder. Ya gotta love 'em.
