Bird Carving #17: Great Tit (Shijyukara)



This is my 17th birdcarving work of Great Tit.

Great Tits are easy to recognize, large in size at 14 cm, with a broad black line (broader in the male) down its otherwise yellow front. The neck and head are black with white cheeks and ear coverts. Upper parts are olive. It has a white wingbar and outer tail feathers. In young birds the black is replaced by brown, and the white by yellow.

Bird Carving #16: Willow Tit (Kogara)


THis is my 16th Birdcarving work of Willow Tit.
Length is 11.5 cm, and wings range from 60-70 mm.
The commonest call is a nasal zee, zee, zee, but the notes of the bird evidently
vary considerably. Occasionally a double note, ipsee, ipsee, is repeated
four or five times.
