More info: Blue tits are easily recognisable by their strong head pattern with a dark blue-black eye stripe and a brighter blue “skull cap” set against the white cheeks and forehead.
Although Blue Tits are really birds of deciduous woodland, they also use parkland and gardens, making them one of the most common garden birds. Bird ringers operating nets in gardens have found that many dozens of Blue Tits can pass through a garden on a single day.
Blue tits are omnivorous but tend to eat more insects during the breeding season. When not hunting for food, blue tits perch high in trees, singing and chattering, so a garden with trees and shrubs is desirable and will also be a source of bugs and insects for them.
Planting bushes which have bright berries will attract insects, and in turn, the blue tit too and they will readily devour aphids and caterpillars on plants and vegetables.
