Tits - Life in a Headwind

They just managed to survive the snow storm in the mountain forests. Now spring has arrived and life is easier for the tits. However, the daily search for sufficient food is challenging enough during the breeding season, as not all families survive this. The rigours of the weather and traditional enemies, such as domestic cats, sparrow hawks and other birds of prey, as well as the natural disappearance of nesting places add to their problems. Having survived all this, the autumn storms and the first mountain snow are a sign that the bleakest season will soon be here. But, at some stage the tits had decided to let the migratory birds go and to remain behind.
