Treecreepers give high calls as they hunt for insects on the trunks of the pines, while flocks of tits – among them one of those specialist Highland species, the crested tit – flit through the higher branches.

Margaret Walker captured this image of a crested tit.

I looked in vain in these pine-woods for the Crested Tit, which occurs near Gibraltar, and which my brother found numerous in Navarre.

These in their turn will be followed by the chough, hobby, great black-backed gull, furze wren, crested tit, and others.

The titmouse tribe are abundant; but we never see the rarer species, the bearded or the crested tit.
