At least one of Britain's birds appears to be coping well as climate change alters the availability of a key food.

Researchers found that great tits are laying eggs earlier in the spring than they used to, keeping step with the earlier emergence of caterpillars.

Writing in the journal Science, they point out that the same birds in Holland have not managed to adjust.

I take seriously all threats to the world’s tit population.

I still want to know what "tat" is.

There's an old saying that you can get tit for tat.

I thought it was a spelling error, tat is actually that.

I’ve heard no mention yet of the yellow-rumped warblers. How are they doing? ___________

Not very well I'm afraid. Must be a lean year.

I have plenty of room at my place for tits. Any idea on how best to attract numerous pairs?

I would start out with trying to attract the liberal chicks first. The more reserved ones will require a greater effort at gaining their confidence.
