The Eurasian Blue Tit is a small, highly acrobatic woodland tit found across much of Europe. It readily visits gardens and feeders and often hangs upside down while searching fine branches for insects.

ID tip: The blue cap, dark eye-stripe, white cheeks and yellow belly are distinctive. It is smaller and more delicately built than the Great Tit and lacks that species' broad black belly stripe.
