Cyanistes caeruleus/Parus caeruleus
A delightful little bird photographed from my kitchen window. The blue crown, white cheeks and blue line passing through the eye are distinctive, as well as the yellow underparts.
Oak tree, semi-rural area with forest patches.
Found in forests, parks and garden. Reeds in winter. My bird guide gives the Genus as Parus (as for other tits), but molecular studies support the genus being Cyanistes (see Wikipedia reference)

Amazing composition!
Thanks Sarah! The pic was taken at the very beginning of spring... it snowed again a few days later.
Very pretty pic, Daniele! I love the lichens & moss on the tree too!! :)
