Urban heavy metal pollution can impair the health of humans and other organisms inhabiting cities.While birds
are suggested as one of the appropriate bioindicators for essential and non-essential trace element monitoring, the process of particular elements' accumulation in blood and its possible adverse health effects during ageing of individuals remain unexplored. We have investigated lifetime changes in blood lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and zinc (Zn) concentrations and searched for links to health-related traits in sub-urban free-living great tit (Parus major) population monitored over a long period of time. The blood As concentrations were under the limit of detection in most samples. The blood Pb levels showed a non-linear relationship to individuals age, where the highest Pb concentrations weremeasured in nestlings and in a very small group of highly senescent birds (over 7 years old), while no clear trend was observed for themajority of the adult age stages. No agerelated patternswere found for blood Cd or Zn concentrations. The positive relationship between date of capture and blood Cd and Zn levelsmay reflect seasonal changes in diet composition.Wedid not reveal any anaemia-like conditions (decreased total erythrocyte count or increased immature erythrocyte count) in relation to blood heavy metal concentrations in the investigated birds.
