Sometimes the bird center visitors ask which bird is the hardest to deal with... Of the common species, eurasian blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus) are certainly one of the fiercest. Their pecks and bites hurt quite a bit and after ringing hundreds of them in a single day, one's fingers will be hurting!

Mostly been long tailed tits and goldcrests this time around. But I have had a day on a previous year where I ringed some 600+ blue tits and back then there was certainly just a little bit of blood drawn by the end of the day.
