blue tit

Have a great weekend y'all.

Blue and yellow, like the Swedish flag, in their honor for making it to the quarter finals, even if they didn't make it further than that.

Just one more of that busy blue builder, then I'll try to resist posting any of the other dozen or so shots I took of him/her that day.

.... nooo, don't think they can be, but they look a bit like frazzled parents to me, especially the one on the right! Sorry about the bits on the window, birds can be quite messy eaters at times. It's a very rare occurrence for me to have two of them in there together, unless it's an adult...

As you can see, the weather was still pretty dismal, but the Blue Tit was optimistic, headed to the nest with a big load of fine grass.

... but still fowl weather. Looking wind-blown, but still a sight for sore eyes in a late April storm. May was sunny and warm, though.

April's optimist is looking the worse for wear at Midsummer. Still using that same branch as a look-out point to check for safety before heading to the nest, this time with a fat grub. Yesterday they brought the chick to the feeder area. Soon their summer's work will be done and they can start...

That big drainpipe feeder isn't exactly a photogenic setting, but it has other advantages: big enough to stay unempty for at least some part of the week between cabin visits, easy to sit discreetly by the cabin wall and still have a close view, birds will predictably land there and stay long...

Back in the visitor centre and the feeder window, this Blue Tit had found the peanuts. I rather like the look of that feeder. TTTW

Have a great weekend y'all.

.... don't you think!!! I'd moved on to the feeder area, which wasn't really as busy as I'd hope. However, was quite pleased to see this guy, as I don't (or very rarely) get them at home. Nice isn't he, don't you think?

OMG! Yesterday my calendar got packed. Today I have to some work I urgently need to finish. Tomorrow I'm off on an excursion. And the next day I start another field course period. When will I ever catch up on BF? :S Well, I may not know when, but I know that I will. Meanwhile, since I don't...

I think the birds need to be pretty careful where they sit in this hedge, don't they. A quick post and run this morning, as I'm off shortly for a few days on the West Coast. I don't know if I'll be able to log into the internet at all while I'm off. Be good and let's have lots of lovely...

You were probably just holding the camera lopsided. ;)
