I do not normally take photos of birds at a feeder, but these are our homegrown hazelnuts, which I have just found the blue tits love.
As above, and as you can see it is raining!!

How wonderful to find something the birds love to eat and share with them. I love them all! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures! Great to be able to grow the hazelnuts and feed the birds!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
ReplyDeleteBring on the hazel nuts! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteWith your lovely post viewed, I want to thank you for linking in at I'd Rather B Birdin and wish you a most prosperous new year!
Happy New Year Diane. I think those Blue Tits know a good thing when they see one. Nuts are full of nutrients, for them and us so you were very generous.
ReplyDeleteThese are great shots! I don't know how you do it. They move so fast.
ReplyDeleteThey all look delightfully familiar to me, Diane - except the elephant! We had a record crop of Cob nuts on the tree this year, but the squirrels took thousands of them and dug up the whole of the garden to bury them - just after the wild flower seeds in the mini-meadow that I's sown had started to germinate. I think I'll probably have to sow again in the spring!
ReplyDeleteI was just home in Australia and although I'm not a big bird watcher, I was impressed by the number of different birds flourishing near my parents house.
