Nice little video. To answer the question it asks about how many little ones, I think I counted 16. How many can you find?
That is the sound of the Great Tit (no hilarities please because YES that really IS what it is called)…aka a squeaky bicycle pump.
This species has many different calls and songs but that one we heard is one of the most common - often written as ‘teacher, teacher’ to describe it in books. I have had a number of chances to see them in gardens, where they will readily come to feeding stations.
Great Tit (Parus major)Here’s a little story from Norway, happened near the town Lillehammer. Sunday two days ago this pic was posted on Facebook.
The owner of the three mini pigs saw it, and immediately recognised her three pets. She rushed out to go looking for them, but when she entered her yard the three little pigs already came running back home.
It was a happy ending to the story of Biffen (The Beef/The Steak), Babe and Harry Porker
