THE BLUE TIT. 
These birds are drawn from the life. Besides the Blue Tit we have observed 
the Great Tit or Oxeye, the Cole Tit, and the Long-tailed Tit in Moidart, but 
no other Paridas. 
The birds are placed on twigs of larch in flower, when the leaf-buds are just 
bursting, while the last year’s cones are still adhering. We mention this as a 
friendly critic has called the plant hop-bine.
