A European crested tit lands on a pine tree in France
You’ll find this bird all over the coniferous and deciduous forests of continental Europe. The population in the UK is now confined to the Caledonian pine forests in the north. It eats insects and pine seeds, and has been known to store food for the winter. Here’s hoping the European crested tit has already begun stockpiling. Today is the winter solstice, which marks the start of winter.
