The young Blue Tits are still around (4 in total) and late yesterday evening they showed off their acrobatic skills as they hunted for the fat feeder that we had taken down to clean!
This one found the seed feder but was more interested in looking elsewhere.
Nice one Frank,or should I say nice three.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the youngsters.
John.
Great captures Frank, and they all look so puzzled lol
ReplyDeleteThey really are great little acrobats, the way they can cling on to almost anything, and any position.
Hope you get the fat feeder back up soon for them.
Oh my goodness, what an adorable face on this little bird. I have never seen this bird before..what a charmer!! Isn't it neat that they come to where the feeder use to hang...like my hummers who flitted around the spot where the feeders should be..b/c I was late getting the spring feeders out...I felt so guilty....having to have the birds remind me to put out their feeder!!
ReplyDeleteNeat Post EB. Great shots!!
Those little guys are sure cute!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh Frank I love your blue tits! You took fabulous shots. My favorite is the last shot sooooo sweet.
ReplyDeleteFrank...these little guys are adorable! I love how he's clinging upside down in the first photo, but it's the tiny little bill and cute face that seals the deal for me!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots Frank. It always amazes me how the Blue Tits manage to cling on - especially as the one is doing in your first picture. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent Frank.
ReplyDeleteFour is good! Are they all acrobats? Or only some of them!! I guess they were frustrated not to find the feeders!
Well done my friend, these are great pictures!
Lovely pictures Frank, a definite look of puzzlement there!
ReplyDeleteDelightful shots
ReplyDeleteI love to see them on the feeders and get frustrated that the Great Tits can't play nicely with them
There is enough food for all but the GT's are bullies and greedy toward them
Young tits are everywhere at the moment frank. They are costing me a fortune in food!!
ReplyDeleteJohn. Thanks, not too shabby for shooting thro' the double glazing!
ReplyDeleteKeith. Tonight they were doing the splits but I wasn't quick enough!
Tina. Yes, very cute & obviously have good memories. We generally leave feeders out all year but just reduce the no's & volume of food when there is plenty of their natural food available.
Lynne & Crista & Kelly. Just as cute as your Chickadees?
Kelly & Tricia. The more they feed, the heavier they get & later in the day they rarely hang upside down; much like us..eh!
Chris. Broods can initially be 10 -15 when natural food is plentiful. I think the local Magpies will have been responsible for some losses so 4 is ok.
Jan. Definitely a puzzled stare but glad they keep coming back.
Prof Yaffle. Thanks for joining the "Early Birders". GT v BT, well that's life.
Warren. Let's hope plenty of them survive even if it costs us...it's worth it just for the entertainment.
Frank, all of these captures are fabulous, but the very last one stole my heart. What a precious little bird.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather. So pleased you liked the antics of Parus caeruleus.
