About
The Great Tit is a medium-sized bird that can be found in gardens, parks, and woodlands across the United Kingdom. They have a distinctive black head and white cheeks with olive-green wings and yellow underparts. They are widespread and abundant in the UK thanks to their adaptable nature and ability to live in various habitats. The great tit has an important ecological role in controlling insect populations by feeding on caterpillars, beetles, and other insects, which makes them a valuable part of the wildlife present in the UK. Additionally, they consume seeds and fruits, making them an omnivorous species. These birds are very vocal and have a loud and clear sound!
