Blue Tit & Coal Tit

Whilst Goldfinches and Robins came to the set up almost straight away, soon to be joined by Greenfinches, it seemed to take quite a while before any member of the Tit family came down to feed. And when they do come down they often fly straight into the feeders and off again. In the end though, with a lot of patience, I have managed photos of four species of tit, staring here with the Blue Tit.

Another very flitty visitor is the Coal Tit. We used to get these birds visiting the garden quite regularly but we now only get them occasionally since we had our big conifer tree cut down. this year two birds have visited quite regularly. Again you have to be very patient and very quick to get a shot of this gorgeous little bird!
