Eurasian Blue Tit: In winter

The Blue Tit is a resident that stays in Sweden all winter.

  • Flocks: it moves about in roving flocks together with Great Tit, Willow Tit and Treecreeper.
  • Food: a frequent visitor to the bird table — sunflower seeds, suet and peanuts, which it often hangs beneath acrobatically.
  • Roosting: it creeps into cavities and nest boxes for shelter from the cold.
  • Survival: hard winters hit small birds hard, and supplementary feeding raises winter survival appreciably.
