Great Tits

[malagabob]

Great Tits. That’s the ones with a longer tail right? Saw one checking out one of my bird boxes.
Saw a video of a blue tit from first inspection of box to first egg 46 days.

You could be right, but I thought that they might be long tail tits? Not sure great tits have long tails but I'm no expert. Whatever, looks like you may have spring visitors which is lovely.

Great tits have a yellow breast with a dark line in the middle. long tailed tits have a much lighter front almost white. Their tail is often longer than the body.

There's a picture of a LTT. Is this what you saw.

Great Tits are unmissable bob, with the black stripe running right through its underside. Lucky you either way;-)

For a moment I was thinking this might be another misogenistic Angela Rayner thread

As a lifelong fan of the Winnie The Pooh stories I often find myself thinking of Eeyore.

Maybe I'm more of an ass man.

[Zacs-Master]

comma between ass and man, possibly more accurate.

Oh I thought this was about the Labour front bench.....

We get Blue Tits every year, but my neighbour has Great Tits.

[Hopkirk]

Click bait?

Bigger, black stripe down the front the guide from dept should help

As far as I know, long-tailed tits don't use nesting box's, but instead build a round, ball-like nest from spiders webs and lichen.
