The Great Tit is a frequent visitor to gardens across the United Kingdom, and for this reason, is one of the most familiar of our resident birds. The size of the Great Tit makes it easily recognizable, as it is the largest member of the tit family; approximately the same size as a Robin. They are quite colorful birds with green and yellow plumage, a black head cap, and a black line running down their chests. They have white cheek patches. The Male of the species is a brighter yellow than the female, and the line down the chest of the male is slightly wider.
