Mostly today I have moping about the house feeling sorry for myself with a massive banging headache. I wouldn't mind if alcohol had been involved, but it wasn't. So instead of driving off somewhere to enjoy the wildlife like I should have done, I had to make do with watching the locals on my various feeders. However I managed to miss the best bird of the day with the camera - a superb male Great Spotted Woodpecker (garden rarity) briefly landed in our tree and had a look at the nuts before heading off.
Greenfinches
Goldfinch
Great Tit
Tit on my seed
Tit on my nuts
Tit on the neighbour's plums
Aside from the nice tit action, I was most surprised to see this nectaring on cultivated heather:
Painted Lady
Pretty sure I've never seen one this late in the year before.

Dunno about attracting inadvertent hits, those image titles got me smiling :-)

I like to see some tits against some plums...makes a change from them hanging off me fat balls.
