Excited? (Cyanistes caeruleus)

I see this Blue Tit has erected his crest, as if he's got excited over fat balls LOL.

Strangely, back in June when this was taken, we could hardly keep up with filling the fat ball feeder. Now, they're not interested in these plain ones and will only eat the ones with the black seeds in. My birds at home are the same!!

Devils, they're more expensive!!!
