Hi, I'd like to know the English name of this bird. Thanks. Mauro

Mauro, it looks very like a Great Tit to me (Parus Major) but why has it got an orange patch on it's head? Strange.

Definately a Great Tit Mauro. It looks like pollen on it's head to me, what time of year was this taken?

Mauro, it always helps if you tell us where and when the photo was taken. Habitat and season are important clues to identifying bird species.

It was taken in SCOTLAND (Island of Mull) in June 2009.
Thanks. Mauro
