| |  Long beaked tit?
This little fellow appeared in my apple and cherry trees this morning. I guess it's a tit but the beak seemed strange. At first I thought it had something stuck in its mouth. It was eating a peanut when I first saw it with no trouble at all. 
Any thoughts, comments? |

How utterly bizarre! It looks almost photoshopped! |

It does but I remember reading somewhere that birds in North America were affected by this some time ago and its a slow death as the birds there starved,I just wish it was photoshopped but I don't think so |

As Shaun said, I wish it was photoshopped. It isn't, I took upteen images - if it had been April 1st I wouldn't have believed it either. |

Shaun, I can't see this one starving; it made short work of the peanut and in all other aspects it was fit and healthy. Watching it with the peanut it was quite dexterous, that's when I realised it wasn't something stuck to it. |

I hope it doesn't starve but the ones I remember reading about all starved but then I think their bills had crossed over | | | |
