    More photos from my recent Euro trip. If I get the wrong ID, please correct me in the comments. I know very little about euro birds.

    Christmas birds - Great Tit

    I've finally reached the end of my 2023 posts. Here are three who visited my feeders (including extra sheaves of oats and home-made fatballs and stuffed coconuts) on Christmas Eve. There were a few other species visiting as well through the winter - the occasional Willow Tit, some Bullfinches...

    A handsome Great Tit filling his tummy on the peanuts at our Mause feeders. I think the tree in the background makes a rather nice colourful backdrop, Not sure which type of pine it is.

    They really can look large at times can't they. Great Tit are reliable regulars at the feeding station up at Mause (and the other one too, lower down), unlike at home where they've always been very occasional, though becoming a little more regular now, though very far from daily.

    The favourites with friends

    Everybody loves Long-tailed Tits, so I can't resist photographing them when I catch them at the feeders. Just in case you're not sure, there's 4 and a bit of them, along with a Coal Tit and a Great Tit. Strangely we've not had them back at the Mause feeders up the hill this winter yet, even...

    Still in the yellow

    Early July and juvenile Great Tits are independently feeding while still showing their yellowish white plumage. I wanted to tell you the story of the log feeder he was using. I'd had it a few years to use in the garden, the birds loved it and I couldn't keep up with refilling it. All the tits...

    OMG! Has it really been 2 1/2 months since I last posted? I need to get a grip here! Luckily, I don't have a lot of share-worthy photos to catch up on. But here are a handful from Mar 25, back when we still had snow. Here's a Great Tit in what, for most of you, will be an unusual habitat...

    Table manners

    At our new feeders I spotted a Great Tit on a branch eating a seed. This is the the tit species favourite method of eating. Get a seed and fly to a branch, holding it between his toes to peck at it. Thanks to Ann (Doc Duck) for pointing this out to me many years ago.

    Christmast treats 2

    Another Xmas tradition here is to bake 7 varieties of cookies for Xmas. At least one of those varieties is usually deep fat fried. And of course you're not supposed to pour the leftover fat down the drain. So I fill some muffins forms with bird seed and pour the leftover fat into those to make...
