A life-long love for great tits - better than food

Even going hungry is a small price to pay for the love of great tits.

Because they are worth looking at.

Wouldn't you agree?

Great tits in love have a bond that would be the envy of most human couples. They prefer to go without food rather than be separated from their mate. Great tits in love prefer to starve than be separated.

they aren't 'freaky' they are beatiful, perfectly adapted for fishing, swimming and flying. they are breathtaking in the wild and such a special almost mystical bird.

Willow tit?

I've only seen long tailed tits on a handful of occasions. Only seen a crested tit once when I was in Scotland for a few days over the summer.
