Spotted by
The Eurasian Blue Tit is a small, colourful, and highly energetic bird, instantly recognizable by its vibrant blue cap, yellow underparts, and blue and white face. A common and beloved garden visitor, it is an agile feeder and a prominent inhabitant of woodlands and parks.
Where to spot
Widespread across temperate and boreal Europe, western Asia, and North Africa. Common in deciduous and mixed woodlands, parks, gardens, hedgerows, and urban areas.
How to spot
Its bright blue cap, yellow belly, and black eye-stripe are key identification features. Look for its acrobatic movements while feeding, often hanging upside down. Listen for its high-pitched, twittering song and sharp 'tsee-tsee-tsee' calls.
When to spot
Observable year-round as they are mostly sedentary. They are active from dawn till dusk, especially visible at bird feeders in winter.

Eurasian Blue Tits are highly resourceful in finding food. In the past, they famously learned to pierce milk bottle tops to drink cream, a behavior that spread rapidly through populations.
