Field Notes

Description:

A common resident throughout Europe, Middle East, Central and North Asia and parts of North Africa, they will only migrate if it is a harsh winter. The Great Tit is distinguished by its black head and neck, prominent white cheeks, olive upperparts and yellow underparts. They are very vocal birds and you will mostly hear them well before you see them with up to 40 different calls and songs to their name.

Habitat:

This one was feeding on small insects tucked away in the crevices of the palm tree in our friends garden here in Turkey.
