About These Birds
Great Tit
The great tit is the largest European tit and one of the most studied wild birds in the world. Research at Wytham Woods in Oxford has monitored great tit populations since the 1940s, contributing enormously to ecology and evolution. These innovative birds famously learned to open milk bottle tops in 20th-century Britain.
Black-lored Tit
The Black-lored Tit is a handsome, medium-sized tit with yellow cheeks, black lores and crown stripe, olive-green upperparts, and yellow underparts. It inhabits Himalayan foothills and adjacent hills from Pakistan through India to Vietnam, dwelling in broadleaf and mixed forest at mid elevations. It is an active forager, gleaning insects, caterpillars, and seeds from tree bark and foliage.
