| The Coal Tit is the smallest tit in the United Kingdom. Both
male and females have a black cap on their heads with a white patch on the
back of their necks, a black 'bib', a grey back and two white wing bars
on each wing. The young are browner with the under-parts, cheeks, nape,
and wing bars more a yellow colour. Can be seen in most woodland where its
small, slender bill allows it to feed on conifer seeds. It is also a regular
visitor to gardens where it will visit seed and peanut feeders behaving
very much like a Blue Tit. |
