Hi Devorah. The latest edition of "The Complete Guide to the Birds of
Europe" (Mullarney, Svensson, Zetterstrom & Grant) says "Parus major".

Hello tweets,

the genus Parus was split into several genera recently. okay, a
couple years ago. Does anyone recall the new name for the great
tit, Parus major?
