It seems almost too big for her, I agree. But even Blue Tits will fly off from the feeder with a whole peanut if they can maneuver one out in one piece. They take it to a sturdy branch in the crabapple shrub where they hold the peanut between their feet and peck away at it for a while. Then maybe off to the cherry tree or the lilac for more pecking work. Surprisingly, it doesn't even take all that long before they're back for another.

A wonderful capture of this unusal behavior, Delia. You are having a good year in the garden.
