Before zoologists went about with their hair-split DNA analysis, this guy used to have a much cooler name- Great Tit. After the analysis, Great Tits are only found in Europe and Russia and all we are left with are Cinereous Tits. The birds obviously haven't taken the renaming too seriously as they still go about in their usual lively manner and even join the occasional hunting party, a mixed assortment of insect eating birds that sweeps through the forest.
