blue tit

Small yellow-breasted bird

A blue tit is a small European songbird with bright blue and yellow plumage, a white face, and a distinctive blue cap.

Common in gardens and woodlands, it readily visits bird feeders: A blue tit was hanging upside down on the suet ball.

The name comes from an old word for small bird, as in titmouse.
