Coal Tit

Look for this small, large-headed tit working through conifer branches and needle clusters, often hanging upside down while gleaning insects, and listen for its thin, high-pitched call that carries through coniferous and mixed woodland. It readily visits garden feeders for seeds, especially in colder months when natural food is scarcer. Autumn and winter are good times to see it at feeders, while spring brings more activity in its preferred conifer canopy.
