Not fearful
not fled —
just here to be fed
He doesn’t even fly away when we open the kitchen window behind him. I’m hopeless at identifying birds, so it’s probably not a bluetit, but that’s the nearest I can find in the bird book. Jock thinks it’s a baby because of the fluffy top, but it’s fledged, and flies and still only early April….

I never used to be very interested in birds. They were always just something that was ‘there’, if you know what I mean. But I do grow to have more appreciation of things as I grow older, and quite happily watch our bird feeder. 🙂

I love watching nature. This morning we had 8 baby ducklings, 3 of which got stuck under the gate to our patio.

It’s difficult to tell from that angle!! If it’s got a black cap on, it’s a great tit otherwise I would say a blue tit. He’s obviously well fed anyway!

He always turns his back on us – too busy with the crumbs and seeds! I can’t stand long enough for proper observation.

He’s a Very Hungry Great Tit. He could be a young one, which would make him a bit less cautious. How lovely to be able to capture this close up.

He was inches away from me, and didn’t bat an eyelid. We tip the crumbs from the breadboard there, so it’s good healthy home-baked bread with seeds.

My very knowledgeable son-in-law says that it is an adult bluetit.

I shall disagree peacefully. I don’t believe he has enough blue on his wings. But it doesn’t really matter, he’s a lovely visitor.

He’s Senior Conservation Office for Northumberland Wildlife Trust. But it’s not a well-lit photograph, so there’s plenty of room for doubt.
