I always take a walk around the area my office is in during my lunch break. There is a cemetery not far away that borders a forest and I always go there to watch birds. Today, however, I barely managed to see any birds and was about to head back to the office. Suddenly I heard a call that was unfamiliar to me so I used Merlin's Bird ID to help me — and it turns out to have been a Crested Tit (Haubenmeise)!

After some waiting around at a tree, I finally managed to see it briefly! Such adorable birds and also a new lifer for me! Not the best of photos but I am really happy to have finally seen one!

I love seeing different versions of birds I have locally.

I love Tufted Titmouses, they’re so spastic and dramatic. I had one nesting in my yard in the spring that would fight my cats in the window and then just randomly hang out there.

I’m guessing all the tits are pretty goofy.
