Wallflowers (Cyanistes caeruleus)

There was a large flock of Blue Tits at "Goose Park" - at least 30 of them - feeding on birch catkins and on seeds at a balcony feeder. This one was perched on the wall deciding which way to go - back to the feeder or forward to the birches. Those smaller "flowers" on the wall are frost roses.

A sweetly posed shot, Ann. I wondered what the marks were - frost roses - lovely name for them.

Wallflowers indeed! I wonder if this little cutie was attracted to its perch because of the unique wallflowers. Excellent Doc!
