It is fond of young buds of various trees, and may pull them to bits in the hope of finding insects. No species, however, destroys more coccids and aphids, the worst foes of many plants. It takes leaf miner grubs and green tortrix moths. Seeds are eaten, as with all this family.<br /> Here they are feeding on the 'fat-ball' feeder that the squirrel also loves to try to eat from.</p> Tue, 10 Jul 2012 23:19:02 -0700 2012-06-19T17:51:02-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (Shertila Tony) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/7548078982 Blue Tit <p>The Blue Tit is a valuable destroyer of pests, though it has not an entirely clean sheet as a beneficial species.
