What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Another regularly spotted wild bird in my area is the Coal Tit. Around here, I think we see more of them than the arguably better-known Blue Tit. I love all these wee darlings, and the voices are generally very musical. The photo is mine, the sound-byte is, as usual, sourced from the tubular. You will note that it was filmed in Norway, but by no means is this feisty wee birdie limited to that area!

  1. Coal tits are so pretty, and also common in Torridon. (The landscape glimpsed in the video could be parts of NW Scotland, but with taller trees.)
    Cheers, Gail.

  2. Hello,
    Your Coat Tit is adorable and I love their sweet sounds. They look a lot like our little chickadees. Great video and video.

    1. PS. forgot to say the sound each morning for the past 2 weeks is thousands of cawing black birds flying east each morning on our walk. it amazes me at the sight and sound and that they do not poop on us. if we walked at 6 pm they will be going west

  5. What a cute bird. It is very similar to our Black-capped Chickadee and has a similar call.

  6. Oh YAM what a precious little fine feathered friend and voice.
    Coal Tit looks a lot like our Chickadee in size and color. I see Millie and Walter said that too

  7. Hello :=)
    Lovely photo and video. It is a sweet little bird and from my own experience they are more confiding than most other birds of the Tit family. I see them every day on my balcony, but they don't stay there to eat, they just grab a seed or a nut and fly somewhere else to eat it, but they don't mind me being near them. One ate from my hand many years ago when I fed them in my garden, and I have never forgotten the thrill of that moment. The sweetness of their song, is very pleasant.

  8. Lovely wee guys. We get a rare coal tit visitor to the feeders - mostly blue tits around us.

  9. I have lots feeding from my feeders here, and even more now the temperature is dropping. They don't hang around too long to see them, so getting any picture of them is a great efftort.
