New bird on the bottle feeder... a Great Tit... closely followed by the regular Coal and Blue Tit's.
Mmmm... it all looks nice and fresh...
...and piled pretty high...
...with plenty of choice for all.
I've been coming here for a couple of weeks now...
...and the feeders been a lovely addition to the garden... and so far it's been squirrel proof.
What was that noise over there?
I didn't hear anything... but I saw something move by the shed.
I hope we didn't speak too soon about the squirrel... better make the most of this food while we can.
I have a plan... now if I can just build a zip line over............................
The Great Tit is a handsome bird! I like the stripe that runs the full length of their body. Nice shots! Glad the feeder is holding up!
ReplyDeletethe birds are beautiful. glad that feeder is working out well!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty birds. Your captions are perfect for the looks on the birds' faces. I do hope the squirrel doesn't learn to help itself to the seed!
ReplyDeleteLovely Tits feeding on the squirrel proof, ah, I feel quite a little bit upset, nothing to eat!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis wasn't boring at all Andrew. I enjoyed the photo essay. The birds are lovely and squirrels appeal to me and you captured a really cute pose of this guy.
ReplyDeleteSorry the leg is still troubling you.
You aren't spoiling Arthur too awfully much are you?
A battle of wits coming up Andrew? Good shots.
ReplyDeleteThat squirrel has a very sneaky look on his face. From Findlay
ReplyDeleteHa ha. They will find a way. Make no mistake, the squirrel will win.
ReplyDeletethe great tit is the most common ones where I live. We don´t see teh coal tit that much. Yours have much colors on it´s belly. :)
ReplyDeleteA great series of photos. The birds are so cute looking around like that.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the photos and captions!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots...except for the tree rat.
ReplyDeleteOkay....I certainly won't comment on the blog post title, tho I'm 'dying here' to say something. LOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tits!! Okay...that's close enough before I put my keyboard in my mouth and get into trouble.
Cute captions and birds. Good luck keeping the squirrels away.
ReplyDeleteoh the bird is delightful, but the squirrel looks very deflated now. I guess he'll move on somewhere else ...do what you have to do for your knee Drew, take care.
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Glad to see the feeder is still a success Andrew.
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome Great Tit, love the story - and very impressed with the survival of the bottle feeder - it's lasted a lot longer than you expected! I do feel for you having the bad leg - I'd be going stir crazy!
ReplyDeleteAdorable little birds to keep you entertained. That squirrel looks like he has something in mind.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird. I very much liked second and third shot.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures you show the blue tit .... and not least the little squirrel :)
ReplyDeleteNice set of pictures - I think I see if I can find those bottle feeders here.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that squirrel has something bad in mind!
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW!

Beautiful series of photos Andrew.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and funny story. :)
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh Andrew. Great series, I can almost hear that squirrel plotting from here. :)
ReplyDeleteYou always make me smile Andrew.
ReplyDeleteNo squirrels downunder - but I reckon our possums would give that zipline a red hot go!!!
