About These Birds

Eurasian Wren

ヨーロッパ最小クラスの鳥の一つで、体の大きさに不釣り合いな大きな声で鳴く。民話では鳥の王様とされる。

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.
