Nuts

I listened out this morning whilst emptying the traps and was pleased to hear the Marsh Tit again. After a while it showed, and another called from further away! Eventually both were on show together, tentatively making their way to the nut feeder so I went to get the camera again. Before they could start feeding a large mob of House Sparrows descended on the feeder and the surrounding bush which deterred the Marsh Tits, but a couple of Blue Tits confidently piled in and put the spuggies on the back foot. House Sparrow: "cheeky bastard - get off my nuts" Blue Tit: "feck off" Like father .. .. like juve
