Tits & Chickadees in Lincolnshire
5 species matching this filter.
Lincolnshire's diverse habitats, from ancient woodlands and hedgerows to parklands and garden feeders, support a healthy population of tits and chickadees. Five species from this family have been recorded in the county, including the ever-popular Blue Tit and Great Tit, as well as the increasingly scarce Willow Tit and Marsh Tit, which favour the county's mature deciduous woodlands and damp scrubby areas.
