Friends in My Garden- 8

Cinereous Tit

Cinereous tit

Cute little chirpy birds…Cinereous tits (Parus cinereus)  were frequenting my premises during breeding season. They were seen in pairs, but distinguishing the male and female was not possible as they looked similar.

These active birds were constantly looking for bugs in the foliage.

When thirsty, they landed on my terrace for a drink and a bath! The pair would perch on a nearby tree and each one would take turns to enjoy. On slightest disturbance they would chirp and fly away.

I had to hide in a nook on the terrace to capture some pictures of these birds.
