Normally when the Blue Tits visit they spend a short while on the cables above the feeders bobbing their heads and having a good look round to make sure all is safe before descending. This youngster spent over a minute trying to pluck up courage to mix in with all the House Sparrows that were hogging the feeders before flying away to try again later.
An adult Blue Tit almost hidden behind a leaf on another Sunflower growing from a seed dropped by the birds.
Peek-a-Boo. I can see you.
Finally another piece of video. It starts with a Goldfinch surveying for danger above the feeders. The second part is of a juvenile Blue Tit doing what Blue Tits do best - feeding upside down on the fat ball feeder.
Who would have thought common birds could be so entertaining. Must be the way you tell them! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAs you have probably gathered, Adrian, I love watching the antics of the everyday visitors to my garden. They seem to get so little coverage on the net as a whole.
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoy your videos of the small birds in your garden. I like the idea of growing sunflowers. Must see if they would grow here!
ReplyDeleteGreat videos John. I never tire of watching these. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mick: Pleased you like my little videos.

Thank you Keith. I never tire of making them.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff John, so entertaining and always nice to see the antics of the Blue Tit.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jan the BTs are guaranteed to entertain even if only by the seemingly impossible places they stand.
