The Blue Tit with it's mox of
yellow, blue, white and green colours, is one of the UK's most
attractive birds, often seen on garden feeders and in
deciduous or mixed woodland. They nest in small holes in trees
and will also make their homes in garden nest boxes.
This Blue Tit was photographed at
Denny Wood in the New Forest, Hampshire. Between the months of
March and October, Denny Wood is opened by the forestry
commission as a campsite, and access is therefore limited to
campers. As with most of the New Forest there is a vast
population of ornamental tree's and wildlife - by far the most
populous are the New Forest Pony's. Walk into any area of
woodland and you will find a variety of birds such as Blue
Tits Great Tits, Coal Tits, Jays and Woodpeckers - elsewhere
you will probably bump into cattle, deer and even pigs... |
