Great tits cope well with warming

[JayB]

At least one of Britain's birds appears to be coping well as climate change alters the availability of a key food.

Researchers found that great **** are laying eggs earlier in the spring than they used to, keeping step with the earlier emergence of caterpillars.

Writing in the journal Science, they point out that the same birds in the Netherlands have not managed to adjust.

Understanding why some species in some places are affected more than others by climatic shifts is vital, they say.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) commented that other species are likely to fare much worse than great **** as temperatures rise.

Wytham Woods are home to about 400 breeding pairs of great ****

I belive they tend to SWELL in the heat

They also become more exposed.

Some say they begin to glisten and glow

In the sun as little riverlettes of sweat traverse their contours

Silence was the stern reply

I am taking th 5th.
