Blue Tit
Parus caeruleus
One of the most attractive garden birds in the UK, the Blue Tit will be attracted to almost any garden with a peanut feeder.
They will also readily breed in nestboxes.
If you see four or five at your bird table at any one time, that could mean there are as many as 20 feeding in your garden.
Bluetits love to eat most food left on the bird table and in feeders - especially sunflower seeds, sunflower hearts and of course the , peanuts.
