Birds > Passerine > Great Tit Parus major

info

It is most likely the biggest of the tits and probably the most numerously occuring. In the winter it is almost certain it will appear in your bird feeders, especially if we put some sunflower seeds or hang a piece of speck. It is a grateful object to photograph because of its coloring. Among Tits it only can not be surpassed by a Blue Tit. Excluded from this ranking is, rarely seen in our country and undoubtly the most beautiful of Tits, the Azure Tit, seen only in the winter. Great Tit matches a Sparrow with its size. Its weight comes up to 30 grams with a wingspan exceeding 20 centimeters.
