As far as I’m concerned, great tits can land anywhere they want, especially on me.

Yes, there are ALWAYS winners and losers, but - unlike the alarmists want you think, LIFE writ large goes on and adapts to the changes. Humans will too.

So, great tits are an endangered species?

“As a result, the number of flycatchers killed in great tit nests has risen dramatically.”

My wife would no doubt kill me if I was found in a nest of great tits.

"They also eavesdropped on resident great tits to gain information the long-distance migrants otherwise lack about local conditions."

Wait...What?

Great!

Understand the pay is low or non-existent, but there is the reward of a job well-done.

... and enough fulfilling and satisfying work to last a lifetime!

Haha! Thanks for the ping! A thread about flycatchers and great tits and it took this long to ping me? For shame! Ha!

I better remain silent here though. My wife, though she’s not a FReeper yet, lurks here all the time. Discretion is the better part of valor, so they say...

Does your wife lurk on FR too, Jaz?

If so, it makes for a good moderating influence, doesn’t it?

(Wives ruin all our fun, don’t they! Ha!)

Rarely, however that’s more than never and though I was born unaware of things I wasn’t born yesterday. LOL!
