Great Tit

Parus major (newtoni)

The Great Tit has a greeny-grey back, a pale yellow front, white cheeks, a black cap and a black bib. A black line extends from bib down the front, wider and further in the male than the female.	The Great Tit is a common bird in gardens and countryside, resident throughout the year; larger than the Blue Tit, it is also gregarious with its own kind and other birds, but can be pugnacious.
Great Tit (left) and Blue Tit (right).	Courtship feeding -- the male feeds food to the female to indicate that he will feed when nesting.

	The male has a thick black line extending from bib almost to vent
The female collects soft nest lining (a Bearded Tit?)	The female has a thinner black line and only as far as her belly	She often has more muted colours
They love peanuts		This one has been ringed
Empty larder	They are gregarious birds, but less so than the Blue Tits	This whole peanut, only given in winter, was stolen from a jay
The fledglings have pale yellow cheeks	Blue Tit fledgling (left) and Great Tit fledgling	"Ow!"
Mother breaks small pieces off a sunflower heart for her chick	"Feed me!"	Harassed mother has three more like this to feed
