^;'i)i^ THE BLUE TITMOUSE. Parus CjErt^leus, LinnEeus. The Blue Titmouse is one of the best known of British birds, and is generally distributed throughout the greater part of our islands. In Scotland, however, it does not appear to reach the Outer Hebrides, though found in Jura, Mull, &c. ; while it is very local in the north-west, resident in Sutherland and Caithness, and only a wanderer to the Orkneys and Shetlands. In Ireland it is the commonest of the genus. In autumn considerable numbers of Blue and Great Tits arrive on our east coast; and still larger flocks pass by Heligoland. In Norway the Blue Titmouse breeds as far north as lat. 64°, but further east its range does not extend beyond 61° N., nor is the bird found in Russia beyond the Ural Mountains. It is generally dis- tributed over the remainder of Europe, except in some of the Greek islands, and is common in Asia Minor; but in Persia it is replaced by P. persicus, a much paler bird, with broader white margins to the greater wing-coverts. Continental specimens of the Blue Titmouse are brighter than those of our islands, and attain the maximum of brilliancy in the south of Spain; while on the other side of the Mediterranean, in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, we find P. ultra- marinus, and in the Canaries the insular form P. teneriffa : birds
