Scientific name: Appeared caeruleus Family: Paridés Cuts: 11,5 cm Weight: 9 to 12 Grams maximum Age: 12 years Rate of survival: 30 % Photo of young blue tits to the nest with J12 Aspect. It is the most common titmouse and the only species of Western Europe which is blue. It is smaller and more round that the coal titmouse, with a shorter nozzle. In fact, blue is limited to the crown, with the wings and the tail, the remainder of the top having a greenish color. The lower part is yellow lemon, with a black line separating the chest and the belly. The cheeks white, are surrounded by a fine stripe dark blue crossing the eye. The female and the young people have colors a little duller. Behavior. They are true acrobats. The blue tits often seek their food suspended with fine branches. In spite of their modest size, they are very batailleuses and generally very aggressive and they do not hesitate to drive out manger of the of the same species cuts than they. Sometimes, they even dare to be measured with the coal titmouse however larger. The blue tit threatens the other birds by inflating its plumage, which makes it appear larger. They travel in scattered troops in winter. In addition to its formidable capacity, specific to the family of the titmouses, to open seeds by hammering their hull, the blue tit is characterized by another method: it incises the hull thanks to its nozzle slicing and picore the seed piece per piece. Habitat. They live downtown or in the countryside. They are frequent in the wood of leafy trees or mixed, the parks and the gardens. One finds the greatest densities in the forests of oak. They avoid the forests of coniferous tree. One does not find it beyond 1500 meters of altitude

Hi Didier!
As I sayed before,superb work.I liked the composition very much.Thanks for sharing.

Gostei da composição dos filhotes no ninho, porém penso que a quantidade de luz é um pouco excessiva.
Bela foto.
