Bird Feeder

It's always nice when it gets to that time of the year when the weather starts getting a little bit warmer again and you start to hear the birds chirping outside in the mornings and evenings. We have a few bird feeders dotted around the garden as well for the little guys as it can't be that easy fending for themselves trying to find worms and what not.

We make their lives a little bit easier by buying some of this bird feed for them. They're basically just peanuts and the local small birds are big fans

We have one of the feeders set up here just outside our kitchen window, which is nice. We all like to watch them and listen to them while cooking the dinner or doing the dishes.

I love Tits!

Sorry, I couldn't help myself, that headline pretty much wrote itself! They are likeable little things though and luckily it's mainly blue tits, yellow tits and the like we get coming to visit and nibble on some nuts.

I don't have a tripod or a very steady hand, so these aren't the best of shots, but they're half decent I suppose.

It doesn't take them very long to munch their way through a whole feeder full. I'm not sure whether you should wait a given amount of time before filling it again or not. I wouldn't want the Tits to become over reliant on the feeder either.

This little yellow guy is my favourite. He's a plucky little character and I like the vivid colours of his plumage.

He was the first to arrive when we started using the feeders again this year and is very friendly and will land on a branch or wall very close to us, as he seems to understand that we are feeding him.
