coal tits

How about some photos off your Garden feeders should be interesting to see all your set ups and a few birds on them.

I saw a coal tit for the first time last Saturday. I introduced something new to the garden feeders, suet covered sunflower hearts. All the tits seem to love them.

I am waiting for the group of Long tailed tits to arrive, I think it might have to get a bit colder frist.

MY COAL TITS ARE BACK After posting yesterday that I hadn't seen them yet, there they are this evening taking black sunflower sees woohooooo !!

"Ours" are not just back but increased - the only constant bird while we were putting no food out and the most regular attenders when their supply of sunflower reappeared! But today five of them - the highest number I have recorded here. None of them look young - have they been lurking in the woods and being fed by the parents for several weeks?
Otherwise rather a late brood ... but given the weather pattern this year, perhaps understandable. Anyway, these seem okay for the winter.
Interestingly, am not seeing more than 1-2 blue or great tits at the moment ...
