explorations

Second of Tit fledges.

Whilst off adventuring we discovered something very cool, but also a little disturbing about the Great Tit.

It has been documented that when food supplies may be scarce they will actively hunt and eat Bats.

In the one study these hungry Hungarians chose to seek out slowly awakening Pipistrelle Bats. The Bats make noise as they wake and the Great Tits specifically seek that sound out to snatch them straight from the cave wall crevices.

They then kill them and eat thier brains and in some instances the bodies have been picked clean.

For this particular study up to 50 individuals were seen hunting the Bats, it would a appear this behaviour is also passed on through generations too.

Cute and fluffy, but once again, deadly.
