I'm rubbish at identifying birds, I went through an online thingy which was meant to narrow it down but apparently I ticked all the wrong options, cos that narrowed it down to 0 possible species.. oops! I'm thinking it's probably a tit of some kind... any thoughts?

Thanks!

Try black capped chickadee, I think that's what it is...  I have hundreds of them around here... ;-)

I also have a flock of these in my yard, and in the States they're called black-capped chickadees.

thanks everyone, both seem right, guess they're just different names for different places :)

yep quite a common bird, obviously at a feeder... nothing too special but thought with the name it might be worth editing for stock... thanks again :)

Adam, these little birds are not rare by any means but they are quite lovely.  As a stock photo, why not? Some of the more common birds are often overlooked and passed by for fine photos.

Hi Adam I assume this was taken in the UK and is the Great Tit (Parus Major) t it is quite a bit larger then the other Tits we see here
