The Familiar Face of Nature – Great Tits in the Park

This morning, I spent some quiet time in one of Tilburg’s city parks photographing a few Parus major — the great tit, or koolmees in Dutch. These charming little birds hold a special place in my heart. Every spring, a family of great tits nests in my own garden. Watching them raise their young year after year has become a rhythm I cherish deeply.

Today, I brought my Canon 5D Mark III and the Sigma 100–400mm lens. The birds were lively and alert, hopping between branches and calling to one another — always aware, always in motion. Sadly, a shift in the weather cut my visit short, but not before I captured a few peaceful moments.

Great tits are not only beautiful — with their yellow bellies and bold black stripes — but also remarkably adaptive. They’re one of Europe’s most studied songbirds, known for their intelligence and ability to thrive in both woodlands and urban settings.

Sometimes the most meaningful encounters aren’t with rare or exotic species, but with the ones that choose to live alongside us.

View on a park with herb patches with sage among other plants. At the back is a wall of an art library: "kunstenbibliotheek". Text: exploring urban nature.

Silhouet of a tree before it got leaves. With the light greyish background and lots of curvy branches, it looks like a somewhat scary horror-esque image.

Weeping mulberry tree in a park with leaves and branches touching the ground. The shape of the tree reminds me of a crone, a witchy older woman with long green hair.

I was supposed to be cooking tea tonight, but I kept on getting distracted by two amorous pigeons making out on top of my garden fence.

It’s weird, because I’m in my mid 40’s and this is the first time I’ve spotted birds doing this…and they did go further, but I wanted to spare their blushes!

Admittedly, I’ve spent almost all my adult life living in cities…but it was a nice reminder of nature carrying on regardless of human activity, on my doorstep (or fence).
