Sweet N Lowside Effects

Tits and Tit

Not only are the flowers to be reborn with the first rays of sunshine: Do not have time to check the crocus that you can already see the first flying bees, still numb from the cold night!
course, it is still spring, and there is always the danger of a return of cold and ice of a night that is to 'bite' leaves and flowers and insects. But nature does not seem care of these future threats and take advantage of every sunny day, exploding to life without fears for the future.
The birds heard even in the spring, it already feels from the treetops to the singing spring of great tits (Parus major - in the name of this bird is just Bisiach ParĂ¹sula), the larger cousins \u200b\u200bof the blue tit it is a pretty simple song, consisting of two alternating notes - it looks like a call to the joyous carelessness.
Here you can listen to it.


The great tit is recognized primarily for breast bright yellow, divided a black stripe, which extends on the chest and continues on his head, forming a black cap, on the cheeks instead of the plumage is white.
are blue-gray wings and back and back tend to be greenish.

It 's more popular than the blue tit, it is less flexible but more self-assured, and is not limited to the branches of trees but also down to earth in search of grain.
Last week, the forests around Mount Ermada, we have a view while eating seeds from pine cones of Austrian black pine : tit slips before the beak between the cone scales open wooden

then flies to alight on a branch close to eating the seed, which is not a pine (which is the seed of pine trees), but a small seed with a squametta which makes it suitable to be carried by the wind.


As we said the great tit is not at all shy, and also happens to see it close to home: if you put in the garden with a bowl of seeds is much easier than you ever see it!

Another kind of tits that we can see a little 'less is the gray tit (Parus palustris): we happened to see a while ago during a trip to Slovenia, near Vitovlje near Nova Gorica. Compared to the great tit is smaller, but always has a black hood on his chest is white and the wings and back are gray.



A bird that can resemble the titmice is Tit (Aegithalos caudatus), which we have seen more on the mountain Saturday Ermada the other: the body is more rounded, balanced by a long tail and very slender.
The Tit has two types of feathers: in southern Europe is darker and has a stylish black cap of tits, in the north the head is entirely white and the colors are less intense.
The beak is smaller compared to tits: in fact Tit feeds mainly on insects. The verse can hear
