Blue Tit
The Blue tit is one of the most attractive, commonest of the tit family that’s resident in your garden. They are particularly attracted to gardens that offer them peanuts in a feeder. They readily breed in nest boxes if you site them in a suitable location in your garden, and are frequent visitors to the garden bird bath. They can be seen across the whole of the UK.
