Description: | Calls of adult crested tits and nestlings recorded in the Scottish Highlands. Despite its rather drab plumage when compared with other tits, the crested tit is a highly distinctive species with its black and white crest and patterned face. This species is mainly found in old Caledonian pine forests and Scots pine plantations, although individuals will visit gardens in search of an easy meal. Their staple diet consists of a wide range of insects and pine seeds, some of which will be stored away to act as reserves when food becomes less readily available during the winter months. A softly purring trill or a high ‘see-see-see’ call indicates that a crested tit is somewhere nearby. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Woodland Bird Wildlife sounds Garden | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Shove, Lawrence | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
