Tits and So Forth

According to my iBirds UK app, this is a representation of a Great Tit (Parus major), which is not to be confused with the Bearded Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Blue Tit, Coal Tit, Crested Tit, Marsh Tit, or Willow Tit. Good gravy, that’s a lot of Tits.

I found this on top of a gravestone in Green-Wood Cemetery. I wonder what the story there was.

Meanwhile, I expect to find some real Tits in England in the coming weeks. (Hmm, I hope that’s not misinterpreted; bird-watching can be a tricky pastime.) Among other adventures, I plan to team up with Mark Wilkinson of The Badger’s Eye at the London Wetlands Centre, which I am really looking forward to.

Posts of a mostly photographic nature will continue here, through the magic of the interwebs, as the spring was full of riches…
