The Great Tit on Old Lane Allotments
I thought I would add some bird facts to Micks picture. The Great Tit can be seen in woodlands, parks & gardens across the United Kingdom. They can be seen all year round, they eat insects, seeds & nuts. A Great tit clutch can be anything from five – eleven eggs, with the female doing all the incubation. The chicks usually leave the nest 20 days after hatching. The Great tit owes much of its success to its adaptability, while increasing numbers in Britain may well be because it is an enthusiastic user of garden feeding stations.
