It’s been a busy day at the happy eater tree, and because I haven’t been too well have had a gentle day and sat for a while with my camera waiting to see who turned up at The Happy Eater Tree. A new arrival today, I think this is a coal tit, at least on the RSPB identifier it’s the only one that comes close.
Boy did he move fast and it was hard to get a decent shot in focus, but these are the two best ones.
There are always blue tits, and also great tits, these are my ‘regulars’,
Also Fatchick sparrow turned up, followed by Mrs.Spuggy who looked at me as if to say “Will this never end?”
For the past few years we’ve had a breeding pair of robins visit, but this year they’ve been very elusive. Today I managed to see one, well chuffed!
and after I got back from the local shop I was excited to see a return visit from the bullfinch at the feeder. I knew if I got out of the car it would disturb him and he’d fly off, so I gingerly crawled quietly out of the passenger door, kept my head down and went round the back of the house, in through the back door and crawled to the window and my camera as he was still there and got some shots of him. Half hour later he was back with Mrs. Bullfinch (I think, as she’s a paler colour), and then he came back again later in the afternoon by himself, so hopefully it won’t be the last time I see him.
All the pictures are click throughable for the bigger versions. A good 1/2 hour at The Happy Eater 🙂

Great bird shots, FR. Sorry to hear that you are unwell, and hope you recover soon. Julie is off sick with an awful throat infection. No voice, and a persistent cough.
Best wishes, Pete.

My mom got my dad a really cool binocular/iPhone combo for Father’s Day. I think that would be great for taking the pics!
