Crested Tit
Although not as colourful as some other tits, the 'bridled' face pattern and the upstanding black and white crest make this a most distinctive species. Crested tits feed actively, clinging to trunks and hanging from branches, like most tits, searching for a wide range of invertebrates and pine seeds. They store food extensively during early winter, using it in late winter. In the breeding season, the crested tit prefers old pine forest (Caledonian pine forest and old Scots pine plantations) with rotting stumps in which it can excavate nest cavities. It feeds on seeds and insects.
