We get about a 100 blue tits a year in my garden.
Blue tits are my favourite type of birds they are consistantly coming to our feeders! Also did you know a blue tit weighs the same amount to a cookie!
We hung some bird feeders on our acer tree, and now we have loads of blue tits coming to our garden! There was a tiny baby one there a few days ago calling for its parents. I think it was just a fledgeling!
I see Blue tits all the time in my back garden they are so small!
We have long tailed tits aswell.
Don't worry now I seem to get Blue Tits in my garden all the tim now!!! YIPEEE!!!!!!
I think blue tits are great. They used to come to my garden all the time, but now i only see the odd one. I am so sad because they added a bit more colour to my garden.
