The Blue Tit is a member of the Tit family along with the Coal, Great, Long-tailed and Marsh Tit. It can be found throughout England in woodlands, orchards, parks and gardens. It is often the first bird to be seen in the garden hanging upside down from a bird feeder and in winter it can be seen pecking through a milk-bottle top to get cream. Its trill-like song can be heard any time of the year.

The Blue Tit is a small colourful bird that has a blue coloured crest and a white face which has a black stripe running through each eye. Its back is an olive green colour and its breast and belly are yellow. It has a short and relatively thin beak. The male and female are very similar in appearance, but the male tends to have brighter colours.

Blue Tits are quite acrobatic birds that have no problem hanging upside down on twigs and branches to find food. They like to eat insects and spiders, but they will also eat peanuts on bird tables and scraps of food left out by humans.
