Great Tits are bold inquisitive little birds and are regular visitors to my garden.
Great Tit (Parus major)
They are the largest member of the tit family being roughly the size of a House Sparrow and can be quite aggressive...often bullying their smaller relations.
Though not as agile as the Blue and Coal Tits they have no problems hanging on to the feeders...
...especially when peanuts are on the menu.

Seeing the level of the peanuts in this feeder reminds me... I need to buy some more.
The peanut and sunflower heart feeders are by far the busiest at the moment... costing me a small fortune.

He is very pretty bird. I need to pick up more bird seeds.
Beautiful colors! You really caught the details.
I like how he is back-lit with the sunlight. That it a good time to photograph the birds at your feeders whatever time that was. No I didn't buy the movie camera. He was still yakking after I took the pictures so I moved on.
it sure is a fabulous looking bird 'Drew
Very cute little bird.
You have make beautiful bird photos!
Greetings, RW & SK
These shots are fabulous!
Great Tits are definitely Mr amd Mrs Personality Andrew.
Gorgeous shots! You've captured him beautifully!!
I'm constantly amazed at how peanuts sometimes encourage aggressive behavior amongst birds. :))
We don't have any of the Tits around here so I fully enjoy your pictures and information. I also understand what you are saying about the cost of bird seed and peanuts. It is important that we feed them because we have wiped out most habitats that provide for them, but my goodness ... someone is making a killing because of it. Great shots of a beautiful bird.

I have a regular pair in the garden that have had good breeding season. Not always easy to photograph with good results due to the contrasting yellow vs black colours, yours look good Andrew
Beautiful markings on this guy! Peanuts are a favourite in my yard at the moment!
Beautiful shots of this cute bird. They're fun to watch.
The yellow is gorgeous. We don't have these, I did get to see some in tits in Japan though (hows that for a comment!)
Great photo. I like the way you have captured the little feet clinging to the side of the feeder.
Gorgeous backlit photos Andrew.
They're beautiful!! And I must say I like that peanut feeder too.
Beautiful shots of a beautiful bird! Feeding birds does indeed cost a small fortune!
Beautiful shots
A cute little acrobat!
I like those little bubbles of bokeh Andrew that mimic the holes in the feeder.
Love 'em, even if they can be bullies.
lol, "grass is greener ...." Cool images.
