Text Appearing Before Image:
Blue Tit. The sexes are alike. The head, neck, and upper breastare a glossy blue black ; the cheeks and a nuchal spot white ;back grey, browner on the rump ; wing coverts tipped withwhite to form two bars. Breast whitish, passing to palebrown on the flanks and belly. Length 4*25 in.; wing2-4 in. The young lack the gloss on the head, and the whitecheeks and nape are tinged with yellow. This species may readily be distinguished from theMarsh Tit by the white nuchal spot.

The food consistsof insects and seeds of various kinds which it seeks with theunceasinf^ enercry characteristic of this srenus. The sexes are alike and of an olive brown colour on theback; head and nape glossy black; cheeks white; chinblack; under parts whitish, becoming buff on the flanks.Length -io in.; wing 245 in. The young are duller and have no gloss on the head andnape. This species is local, but well distributed in England andWales ; in Scotland it is rare and only recorded from two orthree counties.
