Description
Here's an image which lots of pairs of great tits and no nudity flag :lol:
I know, my friend, and long-time beta tester, Kelvin Hughes, would have enjoyed the bird humor as well as relished the chance to use some of my Vue-tuned birds. Sadly, I heard today that he passed away, so a render to tease him of what he was going to test now becomes a piece in memory of him. He will be missed.
Okay, the bird facts... Great Tits are found in Europe, Asia, and Northwest Africa in forests, woodland areas, towns and mangrove groves. They are the largest of the Tit family measuring 14cm. The black stripe on the belly of a male Great Tit is an indicator of its status; larger stripes are more attractive to females.
In England, Great Tits learned to break open the foil caps sealing bottles of milk that had been delivered to homes to get at the cream floating on top.
There are three subspecies of the Great Tit. Birds in temperate Europe and Asia are essentially green above and yellow below. Great Tits in Far East are green above and white or yellow-tinged white below and birds in India and southeast Asia are grey above and whitish below.
Rendered in Vue9i with no postwork.
