Acrobatic, inquisitive and colourful, Blue Tits are a garden favourite. They are one of the easiest garden birds to attract to nest with a suitable nest box, and they are a frequent peanut feeder once the dominant sparrows are gone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientific name: Cyanistes caeruleus<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blue-tit darts with a flash of wings, to feed
Where the coconut hangs on the pear tree over the well;
He digs at the meat like a tiny pickaxe tapping
With his needle-sharp beak as he clings to the swinging shell.<\/p>

Then he runs up the trunk, sure-footed and sleek like a mouse,
And perches to sun himself; all his body and brain
Exult in the sudden sunlight, gladly believing
That the cold is over and summer is here again<\/p>Summer-Like by George Orwell<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
