Long-tailed Tits on a suet ball
Blue Tits are readying for nest time again. They're pretty smart. I put some plastic (non-harmful) anti-cat climbing spikes on the timber support for the birdbox. The birds duly arrived a few minutes later and had a very good look at the new brown things that weren't there this morning!

Here he is. I had him 2 or 3 years, but then some upstart stole his territory a few days before his chicks were due to fledge. First he left, then a day or two later, his mate left and I could hear the chicks go quieter and quieter over the next few days. I was mute at the time and also too scared to ask my parents to ask the neighbours if I could retrieve the chicks and try to save them.
