*****************************

This small tit has yellow underparts, with a narrow, dark central stripe on the belly, blue wings and a white face, which is crowned with blue and streaked with a dark eye-stripe. The sexes are similar, although females are often somewhat duller than males. The juveniles have a more yellowish face than the adults. A range of clear calls is produced, including a high 'sisisi'. It is found from Iberia and North Africa to Scandinavia, UK, Russia, Turkey, and Iran. This cosmopolitan species occurs in a range of habitats wherever there are trees, including broad-leaved woodlands, orchards, hedgerows, parks and suburban gardens. The blue tit is an acrobatic and inquisitive bird; these traits have enabled it to exploit unusual food sources, for example by obtaining milk by pecking at milk-bottle tops on doorsteps. Furthermore, they are usually the first birds to find and use feeders put out in gardens, a trait which has greatly endeared them to the public. During summer they feed mainly on invertebrates, but switch to seeds and other food sources during winter when insects are scarce. Nesting takes place in holes in walls and trees, as well as in nest boxes. The female lines the hole or nest box with moss, hair and feathers, and in early May lays 7-12 (up to 16) white eggs speckled with reddish-brown. The male brings food to the female while she carries out the duty of incubation, which can take between 12 and 16 days. Both parents bring food to the young, which fledge after 15-23 days. Just one brood is produced each year.

Merhaba Bayram Hocam,
Bu nazik jestinize geç cevap verebildiğim için
üzgünüm. Nekahat dönemi yorgunluğu ile bir şeyler
istenmeden kaçırılabiliyor. Baharı müjdeleyen bu
sevimlinin güzel portresi dolayısiyle kutlarım.
İlgi ve sevginize ÖMRÜNÜZE BEREKET diyorum.
Selam,sevgiler.

Hello Bayram
You've decided to difficult the life of those that come less to TL... so many wonderful birds and so few points.
Well I choose this one, because is a wonderful image with great colours, a great sharpness and a fantastic contrast, and because is for our good friend Dr. Seyfettin Gunner.
Wonderful image and a deserved homage. Congrats,
mb
