Coal Tit

Coal Tit enjoying peanuts.
I enjoy taking photos, but know I’ll never be a really good photographer of birds. It’s really nice when someone sends me a really good photo of a garden bird. Here is a bird photo I was sent the other day. It’s lovely. Just look at the colour and the clarity. There is a note below the photograph about birds in the garden and how the photograph was taken.
Though you may like to see this shot I got of a coal tit about to make off with
a piece of peanut.
The pair kept visiting the feeders so I stood in the kitchen and took about 20 pictures many of which ended up with most of the bird hidden from view. Amongst the pictures was this one which I now use as the wallpaper on my computer desktop.
Visiting birds here are greenfinch, robin, blue tits, coal tits, sparrows, and
starlings. The sparrows are not the least bit bothered by the squabbling
starlings. They just find a gap and dive in. Same really with the tits. If the
starlings are at the fat balls and nut feeder then the smaller birds go onto
the table where the seed feeder is.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your four legged friend. Very best wishes,
Thanks for your condolences on the loss of our dog. I see your garden is a bit like my garden. Lots of birds flitting about and making the most of the food you put out.
I see you are still using the bird feeder that you told me about before. You said it’s really good when it’s windy because you’ve made it static. A very good idea. Good to hear from you and thanks for sending the picture for us to enjoy. Trisha
