How they do it (Parus major)

This is for those who wonder why tits don't spend long at the feeders, and seem to know the exact moment that you're about to click the shutter timing it to the last nano second to fly off!!

This Great Tit had, moments before, been on the peanut feeder. Grabbed one and flew up into a tree to eat it. You can just see it held between his feet.
