Observation details

Initially a couple of WNT flew and sat on top of the acacia tree. Before we could take pictures, it flew away. Soon after another couple came and sat on the same tree. We thought it was the same couple, but to our surprise we saw a WNT and a Great Tit. We initially thought that the Great Tit was aggressive and trying to chase the WNT, but it was not so. They both were co-existing, complementing each other's presence. They were constantly flying in and out of the dry forested area to the periphery prosopsis trees. At one point only the Great Tit flew out and it was making WNT calls as if it was calling out its partner.
