Great Tit; Carbonero Común

Description:

The Great Tit is a distinctive bird, with a black head and neck, prominent white cheeks, olive upperparts and yellow underparts, with some variation amongst the numerous subspecies. It is predominantly insectivorous in the summer, but will consume a wider range of food items in the winter months, including small hibernating bats. Like all tits it is a cavity nester, usually nesting in a hole in a tree. The female lays around 12 eggs and incubates them alone, although both parents raise the chicks. The Great Tit has adapted well to human changes in the environment and is a common and familiar bird in urban parks and gardens.

Gallery forest, close to a small brook
