In summer it can be very hot and a lot of animals and also peopley try to avoid the hot spots in the city or avoid staying outside in the sun for a too long time. A forest with a lot of trees and therefore spots with shadows is a perfect place to avoid the direct sun exposure and stay in the shadow most of the time. So did I and the blue tit as well as some other birds although I couldn't find very much of them since a lot of them hide during the warm time of the day.

The Eurasian blue tit feeds on many insects, though it is fond of young buds of various trees, especially when insect prey is scarce, and may pull them to bits in the hope of finding insects. Since a lot of insects are often found at the barks of trees they look for their prey there very often. The Eurasian blue tit also looks for seeds for its diet and therefore is a guest at the bird feeder very often.
