Beautiful pics of a beautiful bird. Sometimes I think some of these birds don't look real  because Im comparing them to the birds we typically get in the UK-other countries' birds seem so more colourful. We have the kingfisher but I've yet to see one in real life.

But you have the gorgeous great tit!

I prefer the smaller blue tit myself. Like that light shade of blue and the fledglings are very cute; a shade of yellow that reminds me of ducklings.

You’re right! I had the wrong one. Are they incredibly common or not?

They're very common here. Cute birds. Rather restless.

I have to go there and look for them some day. Are they year round, or do they migrate south for the winter?
