I wasn't going to show any more images of birds on this feeder... but then a new bird tuned up for a go.
Two in fact... Nuthatches and only the third and fourth I have seen in the garden.
I wasn't prepared to see them and hoped they would still be around as I got my act together.
I needn't have worried...they were on and off the feeders for over 20 minutes...
...giving me plenty of time to take pictures and just enjoy watching them feeding.
A bit fussy they were... scooping seeds out of the feeder seeking out the black sunflower seeds.
Just as bad as the Tit's
By the time they had finished most of the other seeds were on the ground...
...much to the delight of this little fella...

That's the Nuthatch for you! I filled a separate feeder with sunflower just for them. Waste of time. They still empty the mixed seed as well. At least with your feeder you get to see them the right way up.
the nuthatches are really cute, but i love that little wood mouse.
I have a tray for sunflower seed eaters alone. Love your mouse. Have you given him a name? Woody?
your little mousekins are just so cute, they would make a good pet for someone who is not allowed pets where they live.
I did enjoy all these photos of your tiny visitors. My chipmunk is about as close to a mouse. I haven't seen a mouse out there yet, though they must be around.
Brilliant Nuthatch photos and the Woodmouse, superb.
Beautiful shots of this lovely bird -- and the mouse looks like something out of Beatrix Potter!
beautiful shots you got; a lovely bird
Nice bird shots, but that little mouse is too sweet. Never thought I would say that about a mouse.
Your bottle feeder seems to be holding up well, Drew. I love your shots of the little nuthatch; it looks exactly like our red-breasted nuthatches. We have one that makes quick visits to our feeder and,like a thief,takes one seed at a time.
I love to watch the nuthatches here. They make the cutest little sound. Your little woodmouse is adorable.
I never tire of seeing the Nuthatch Andrew. Smashing shots on the feeder.
