Great tit on a Chaenomeles speciosa

A great tit bird perched among red flowers and green foliage.

The great tit is the largest of the chickadees and is easily identified by its cap, throat and black tie, the latter being thicker in males than in females. Its cheeks are white and the rest of its plumage is yellow or yellow-green, except for its wings and tail, which are black.

It is a sedentary and widespread species. It is found almost everywhere, in deciduous forests as well as in woods and gardens.
