Blue tit

Blue tit asleep in the nest box my wife and I put up last year. First resident we've had. Crappy picture, I know. Will try a better one later.

Edit: here's a second shot, still fuzzy, but you can see the head:

  1. Hope you left tit where it was. Haha. Pretty bird. I've heard about a Great tit, a relation of sorts? I'm pretty sure we don't have any downunder.

  2. Great Tits are fairly similar but a bit larger. They've evolved to use different levels of the same conifer tree - the smaller Blue Tit can get where the leaves are denser, nearer the bottom. Last year we saw a Great Tit popping in and out of this box but it's the Blue that's decided to move in.

  3. I've never heard of a "tit" and Dave says it's a bird, but I can't tell what that thing is @_@
