Sporting a mix of blue, yellow, white, green and black, the
unmistakable Blue Tit reflects the colours of a planet affected by
a burgeoning human population. Fortunately, Blue Tits are adapting
well to modern humanity, taking advantage of our propensity to feed
birds in our gardens and provide boxes for them to nest in. In
turn, this feisty little species provides an excellent model for
biological research. This book is the result of a personal quest by
author Martyn Stenning to bring together a range of discoveries
into one accessible volume. The Blue Tit begins by inviting readers
into the intimate lives of these birds as they attempt to
reproduce, describing the many challenges they face when rearing
their offspring. The story moves on to the fluid state of Blue Tit
classification across the native Palearctic range, before
progressing into population structure, lifetime ecology and an
exploration of factors that determine breeding success. It
culminates with an in-depth look at research over the years,
followed by a selection of personal anecdotes and an overview of
Blue Tit appearances in folklore and poetry. This book provides a
definitive record of the biology and ecology of one of our most
popular, intelligent and charismatic birds.
