Blue tit
Cyanistes caeruleus/Parus caeruleus

Field Notes
Description:
A delightful little bird photographed from my kitchen window. The blue crown, white cheeks and blue line passing through the eye are distinctive, as well as the yellow underparts.
Habitat:
Oak tree, semi-rural area with forest patches.
Notes:
Found in forests, parks and garden. Reeds in winter.
My bird guide gives the Genus as Parus (as for other tits), but molecular studies support the genus being Cyanistes (see Wikipedia reference)
