Another little garden favourite... the Coal Tit.
They usually don't hang around for long... onto the feeders...grab a seed then off!
So I was so pleased to capture this little fella just a few feet from my house.
So cute to see.
I had intended to share a walk around the tree I pass on my commute today... it will be on later today.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like our Black-capped or Carolina Chickadees! They're fun little birds to watch, but they usually don't sit still for long.

Thank you for the visit on my butterfly post Andrew..These guys are just like our black-capped chickadee and the cutest bird in the yard and the most friendly.. but fast..these are great photos..Michelle
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures, what a great little bird!
ReplyDeleteI just love this, particularly now, with your blog photographs in mind, I tried my own hand at backyard birds, including a coal tit. Gosh do they ever jump around--I'd think I was ready, set, but by the time the camera focused, off it went. I did get one, though through glass, so not so clear as yours, of it nabbing a peanut.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, that's great, wonderful visitor again. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteAndrew: I have just been corrected on my coal tit--Shy Songbird to the rescue. What I have with the peanut is a great tit! Clearly, I must find a way to spend more time in English back gardens, birdbook in hand!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Andrew.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I was doing a crossword while away from technology last week and the only word that would fit was Coletit. My family weren't convinced and neither was I but I now see it's an acceptable variant spelling of Coaltit.
