This will be the last of my Blue Tit images for a while now….I promise… :-) Blue Tit – Cyanistes caeruleus. Devon, UK. Text adapted from Michael J. Seago, full text can be found at - http://www.birdsofbritain.co.uk/bird-guide/blue-tit.asp These brightly coloured familiar birds are often seen in winter groups searching trees and branches for insects and spiders. Each twig and leaf is thoroughly examined, the birds advancing in small rapid hops, seizing items either while perched upright or hanging upside down. While searching, each blue tit has a habit of holding its head back as if short-sighted! This constant activity is enhanced by persistent flicks and twitches of wings and tail and frequent calls. In times past blue tits frequently, especially in winter, tore open the foil tops of milk bottles, drinking the top layer of milk. Groups of these ever-restless and inquisitive birds were known to follow milkmen or wait for milk deliveries. The nest is in a hole in a tree, wall, stump, gate-post or outhouse. Few birds more readily accept the shelter of a nest-box. The same hole is occupied year after year. The blue tit is a close sitter hissing at an intruding finger. Nesting material is usually moss, wool, hair and feathers. A clutch of eggs is often large. From 12 to 18 eggs are on record. Probably seven or eight is normal and large clutches are laid by two or even more hens. Main predators include grey squirrels and great spotted woodpeckers. In northern Europe blue tits undertake wildly fluctuating eruptive movements from time to time. Birds ringed in autumn in Sweden have been recovered in Germany and Belgium.

Great tit….... The largest UK tit – green and yellow with a striking glossy black head with white cheeks and a distinctive two-syllable song. It is a woodland bird which has readily adapted to man-made habitats to become a familiar garden visitor. It can be quite aggressive at a birdtable, fighting off smaller tits. In winter it joins with blue tits and others to form roaming flocks which scour gardens and countryside for food. / Where to see them Woodlands, parks and gardens across the UK. Absent only from the Northern and Western Isles of Scotland. / When to see them All year round. / What they eat Insects, seeds and nuts.
Switzerland Mount Titlis Buddha “Donghua Li – the famous world champion gymnast from China – was intensely preparing for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, when he went onto the platform at the Mt. Titlis peak and looked eastwards. / Suddenly he saw a huge natural statue among the snow covered mountains. It looked like a Buddha! It was wearing a monk’s habit, holding straight its head and body. Its left arm was in front of the chest, and right arm was gently hanging down, and the statue seemed sitting cross-legged on a rectangular pedestal. / It was like a wonderful sculpture, purposely carved out of snow and ice by a gifted artist. When rays of sunshine pierced through the clouds and illuminated the statue, it was shrouded in mysterious glory. At this overwhelming sight, Donghua Li expressed his desire to win the Olympic Championship – which came true in 1996 – and he became the Olympic Champion in gymnastics!” Enjoy the view :)) Nikon D90 105mm / F/8 / 1/800 / ISO 200 / 18.
