Yes, that's right, you read correctly. Great Tits are thriving in the warmer environment that the UK is experiencing due to global warming.
"Researchers found that great tits are laying eggs earlier in the spring than they used to, keeping step with the earlier emergence of caterpillars." (bbc)
Apparently learning how one species handles environmental adaptations can help us save others, or even ourselves. This really is good news. Plus nobody wants to see Great Tits disappear.
