Crested Tit

Although not as colourful as some other tits, its “bridled”' face pattern and the upstanding black and white crest make the Crested Tit 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.
Crested Tits are largely confined to the ancient Caledonian pine forests and Scots pine plantations of the Scottish Highlands and can be seen all year round.
