Tour Scotland short 4K Spring Wednesday wilfdlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of colourful Blue Tit birds spotted eating on a morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The blue tit bird is identified by its colourful plumage. Blue tit’s wings, tail and crown are bright blue and their other defining features include a yellow breast, green shading on their back, white cheeks, a single white wing bar, and prominent black stripes on the eyes, bib and collar. Although the female and male are nearly indistinguishable, the female is slightly paler. Juveniles can be distinguished from adults as their colouring is more green than blue, and their cheeks are yellow rather than white. Blue tits are typically found in woodland areas, although they are well adapted to gardens and towns. They are very agile birds. The population of this species has flourished due to the increased availability of nest boxes and garden feeders. Blue tits can be observed in gardens eating at bird feeders or scavenging for food. Some of their favourite foods are insects, sunflower hearts, Mealworms, suet and peanuts. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March. @tourscotland #spring #scotland #nature #shortsvideo #birds All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.

Magpie And Woodpecker On Spring Wednesday Visit To My Cottage Garden Scone Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring Wednesday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a Magpie Bird and much loved Woodpecker Bird spotted drumming for food on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire,Britain, United Kingdom. The magpie bird is one of our most familiar birds and the source of much myth and legend. Woodpeckers are birds known for their distinctive drumming behaviour and chisel shaped beaks, which they use to excavate wood for food and nesting cavities, and they have adaptations like strong feet and stiff tail feathers to help them cling to trees. Great spotted woodpeckers can be seen in woodlands, especially with mature broad leaved trees, although mature conifers will support them. They can also be found in parks and large gardens. They will come to peanut and Suet feeders and bird tables. Not found in the far North of Scotland. Only a handful of pairs nest in Ireland, but numbers are increasing. Common in England and Wales. Legend says, if you ever see a red-headed woodpecker it will always move to the opposite side of the tree away from you because it is hiding in shame. People of varying spiritualities see a woodpecker as a friend when they're lonely. When one visits them, they gain inner strength to persevere through whatever challenges affect their daily lives. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing.
