THE TITS

Later in the afternoon, numbers of small birds visited the tap-water pool: hunting-parties of tits—grey-tits, red-headed tits, and green-backed tits—and a pair of tiny willow-warblers, their chirping just a fairy tinkle. While the tits were bathing, the warblers would wait in the cherry tree, passing the time by attacking the sour red fruit of the wild cherry.

The various kinds of tits did not fraternise much with each other; nor did they squabble. While the green-backs took their plunge, the red-heads waited patiently on the moss-covered rocks. I thought they showed more discipline than a crowd of people at a city water-tap. But the mynas who are the dacoits of the bird-world, would turn up before long and drive the smaller birds away.
