Not that I'm a birder, Philippe, but I think your 2012 shot IS definitely a 
blue tit, but the 2016 shot gives the impression it's a great tit. Have a 
look at the head markings. The great tit has a more definite cap where as 
the blue tit seems to have a narrower bar through the eyes. Now, I'll have 
to go back to my translating of the Qur'an :-)

Thanks Douglas

It's a blue tit - lots of them around here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_blue_tit

Size is between 4 and 5 inches.

Still nesting today, and with these terrible rains.T
hey are late for the show this year, and have a hell of a job getting food 
for the birdlings...

Here's a chick right of the nest (3 weeks earlier) last year

And here are two, cherry picking, at about the same dates in 2012
