One very unlucky
Blue Tit in Sussex was spotted by some children with its feet firmly tangled in a piece of blue 'nylon' rope. It was hanging upside down and could not get itself free - after some gentle work by Mrs C the little fellow flew off none the worse for the ordeal. But what with cats, sparrow hawks and the like, the world can be a dangerous old place......
The Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus to give it the posh name) is distributed widely over the UK with the RSPB estimating that there are estimated to be about 15 million birds wintering in the country - if you have four or five Blue tits at your feeder at one time then you are probably supporting at least twenty more.
Favourite foods include
insects, caterpillars,
seeds and
nuts - and there is plenty in the TWOOTZ range to ensure a good number of visitors to your bird table.
