| | | Blue tit making me feel dizzy
I thought you might enjoy this one I took this afternoon. It makes me feel dizzy just looking at it.

What a charming photo! What's in the coconut? Some form of home-made grain and suet mixture inset with peanuts?
Hope all is good

Nigel, what a super photo! Considering how cold it has been of late, I think your little Blue tit is very happy to have found such a lovely treat!

Great picture .
I was making up seed/fat mix and filling a half coconut too. The Blue and Coal Tits loved it until the Starlings discovered they too can hang upside down !
The Tits can't get near it now as the Starlings wait in a queue to eat as much as they can. I even started making some mix up and puting it in a dish on the ground for the Starlings. Now it's 15 Starlings in the dish, 1 upside down on the coconut and another flapping around trying to knock the other one off , and 2 or 3 waiting for their turn  .
Luckily , I have other food sources for the Blue and Coal Tits . |

He he ! 
It's only the ones waiting for the seed/fat filled coconut who wait in a queue
The ones eating the same mix from a dish on the ground are seriously rowdy. One had another pinned to the ground last weekend. They chase everything else away from THEIR dish of seed/fat pudding . | | |
