Hi there,

This week we've been getting a bunch of these guys flying into the garden and feeding on seed but today they discovered the mealworms I put out on a daily basis. They look like sparrows to me but I just wanted verification

The last picture I know is a Tit but which one is it? They are regular in the garden and the adults have brought over their young and they're all feasting on the mealworms now!

Sorry about the focus on some of the pics - quickly had to grab camera and attach a lens.

The Great Tit looks like a youngster, hence the washed out colour. That, or the picture is a little overexposed.

Cheers
