A truly Great Tit


The largest member of the Tit family, the Great Tit, the male has a more pronounced  black chest  stripe that gets wider towards the base. 

Perhaps not as widespread as you might think with just in excess of two million pairs in the Uk
and currently increasing slightly.

Like the Goldfinch, the Great Tit has benefitted from the popularity and growth in garden feeders that has occurred in recent years.

All of these images were taken in the fringes of woodland at Grafton Underwood, Northants.
