Alright resident ornithologists (I’m looking at you, **Colibri** ), what bird is [this one?](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXj8BfSbKyM/SEjfZ3KB5lI/AAAAAAAAAlM/c6Uj43cM5sw/s400/cute-bird.jpg) A birdwatching friend of mine suggested it may be some flavour of flycatcher, but I haven’t found a match yet. ---

Oh, my google-fu serves me well… 😃 I’ve already found what bird is it, but I’ll let people take their guesses for some time. ---

Interesting how a bird can be called a tit and a mouse, when it’s neither. Now you want to see a set of great tits, [here](http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/great-tit:parus-major-photo-11246.html) you [go](http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/great-tit:parus-major-photo-7897.html). ---
