[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The European Crested Tit, or simply Crested Tit, Lophophanes cristatus (formerly Parus cristatus), is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread and common resident breeder in coniferous forests throughout central and northern Europe and in deciduous woodland in France and the Iberian peninsula. In Great Britain, it is chiefly restricted to the ancient pinewoods of Inverness and Strathspey in Scotland, and seldom strays far from its haunts. A few vagrant Crested Tits have been seen in England. It is resident, and most individuals do not migrate.
It is an easy tit to recognise, for besides its erectile crest, the tip of which is often recurved, its gorget and collar are distinctive. It is, like other tits, talkative, and birds keep up a constant zee, zee, zee birdsong (help·info), similar to that of the Coal Tit.
It makes a nest in a hole in rotting stumps. This bird often feeds low down in trees, but although not shy, it is not always easily approached. It will join winter tit flocks with other species.
Like other tits it is found in pairs and it feeds on insects (including caterpillars) and seeds.
This species was formerly placed in Parus, but the distinctness of Lophophanes is well supported,and it is now recognised by the American Ornithologists' Union and the British Ornithologists' Union as a distinct genus.

An interesting species of Tit perched daintily on a branch bearing red berries, Nuri.
Nice DOF resulting into a flawless and apt background.

Hello Nuri,
A new bird for me and a beautiful one at that. I really like it's raised crest and lovely facial markings. Perched on an attractive berry covered branch adds much to the overall beauty of the image. Natural colors and displaying good detail. Well done!!

Çok hoş bir tepeli baştankara fotografı.
kuşlar hakkında iyi bilgi vermişsiniz, benim çok fazla bilgim yok.
Ancak kuşun bakış yönü, merkezin solunda oluşu, o yönde dengeyi sağlayan kırmızı meyveler , temiz arkaplan gibi unsurlar fotografı daha da kıymetli yapıyor.
TN deki portfolyonuz hayli güzel ve kuvvetli tebrikler
