Many More Coal Tits

There have always been plenty blue tits, some great tits and the occasional coal tit visiting the feeders in the garden. In the past few weeks numbers of all three have increased, but especially the coal tit. Nearly every time I look out the window there is a coal tit on the bird feeder. Possibly the increase in numbers in the garden is because of a lack of their natural food in the wild. Insects, beech mast and conifer seeds are amongst the coal tit's natural diet.
