Using factor analysis of ecological niches, we found that Parus major has high marginality to such ecogeographical variables (EGVs), as normalized diff erence vegetation index, the altitude above sea level, the diffuse insolation, activity of chlorophyll, normalized difference water index. Th is species is highly specialized in relation to various vegetation indices. Based on the type of habitat preference map, we found that Parus major doesn’t implement all its potential pro-spatial niche. Considering the ecological niche of great tit on different levels of scale, we noticed certain features: first, a list of factors that influence the distribution of great tit signifi cantly altered by changing the scale, secondly, the factors that play a signifi cant role in spreading Parus major on level of total consideration losing their weight and relevance on closer inspection (when the scale down); third, although specialization of great tits changes with the scale of consideration but Parus major mostly specialized by vegetation index.
