Most birds of Tit family, breed between February and November. This grey Tit often seen in our garden has its favourite spots for its flight station. I had not seen the grey Tits in the garden for a while. It was the first time during this breeding season I noticed it back in the garden. It had an insect between its bills. Shortly after I spotted it, it was on its way to its nest with the insect between its bills. I wish, I had the zoom lens with me to capture this rare sight!
They are small birds and often we miss them amidst the thick foliage in any garden. It is their whee-chichi whistling bird call, sounding like a song, which alerts us of its presence in the garden.
It is smaller than a sparrow. The squirrels, crows and parrots chase them away, but they still find their own space in a garden. A garden would miss if they are not around, because they are beautiful birds, with their glossy un-crested black head, glistening white check patches on both sides of the neck, grey back and whitish hue below and neatly arranged white and black bands in a semicircular fashion on their wings.
Some birds are small but distinguish themselves with their colour complexion.
