| Great Tit (Parus major) | ||||
The Great Tit is distributed in most of Europe, parts of north Africa and in large parts of Asia from Siberia to Japan and Sr Lanka. It prefers mixed woodland and scattered trees to pure deciduous forest and seems to dislike coniferous forest. It is also well adapted to gardens, parks and farmland. It feeds on insects, caterpillars in spring and seeds in winter. |
