I came up with this idea cause of a frequent visiter when i was away
guess who this is?
no not willow or marsh tit
Willow tit or Marsh tit
Great tit
Squirral
there is black squirrels in the uk aswell
both gray squirrels and black squirrels are normaly found in the same place at the same time but there not as common as the non black squirrels. theres also leucistic squirrels aswell. again they arnt as common as non leucistic squirrels. both non black and the black gray squirels were introduced from North America which is there native range. -
native means a species is in a country it origionates from. it has allways been in that country and not from any other country.
. a non native species is one who is from a different country to the one it is currently in
for instance the california poppy can be found in many places all over the world but its home - where it origionated from is california. in california it is a native species cause it was origionaly born there and its allways lived there. in other countrys it is considered a non native species cause it didnt come from those countrys and it didnt live in those countrys.
the gray squirrel both black and leucistic and non black and non leuictic havnt allways been in the uk which makes them not native (non Native) species
if a species has been brought over to a country it didnt used to live in by any means its called introduced. the gray squirrels are not native to the uk and they didnt come over by themselfs but by human infuence so they were introduced here so they are a introduced species in the uk cause they were( brought over) from north America years ago.
nope not a coal tit. you got the first one right though. Blue tit dont have a black hood whereas Great Tit also known by the scientific name parus major do. coal tit also has a black head. if you look at the wings on the back which is sort of a clue though you will see that they have some green abouve the wings and bright blue wings. it also has a bright yellow tummy. coal tit doesnt have blue and greenish back and wigs which the coal tit dont have.
another clue is that coal tit - periparus ater
have grayish wings with 2 white wing bars whereaas Great tit also known by the scientific name parus major only have one white wing bar on the side of the wing
whats your second guess?
yes. its a squirrel so your correct on that one. in the uk theres 2 well known species of squirrel gray squirrel and red Squirrels. red squirrels are now rare cause they used to be in the same area as gray squirrels a long time ago and the red squirrels caught a disease they are susceptable to from gray squirrels and due to things like competiiton for survival and resources the red squirrel population dropped and became rare and the remaining red squirrels arnt in the same place as gray squirrel anymore cause they cant be in the same place for the above reasons. red squirrel populations are in scotland and down south on brownsea island. where I sighted the squirrel is where you wont find any red squirrels. red squirrels are all red whereas gray squirrels are all gray with some red (aswell) gray squirrels also dont have tufty ears whereas red squirrels dont. but you are correct you two it is a squirrel
Squirrel
Coal tit
?
Is that a squirrel? It looks red? I saw black squirrels in Canada,
I'm no good at identifying. You are really good at it.
shall I do an easyer guess who one? if no one knows i can give you more clues
if you need a clue it is a species in the tit family- paridae for example Blue tit, great tit etc
