TITS LIKE COCONUTs

 But don't take our word for it, go out and buy one, a coconut that is, cut in half, tease out some of the meat before refilling with fat then suspend from your bird table - sit back and watch!

Fact is, after a dearth of all the c5 more common species of the genere, over the day we welcomed them back by recording a 'full house'.
BLUE TIT
drinking from the farm-house guttering.
COAL TIT
in the garden along with a
juvenile, only an occassional visitor here.
Something of a mass invassion along the Bridleway of
LONG-TAILED TIT
also featurning the odd juvenile bird.
Something of a minor miracle, reported to His Eminence, at firstly hearing and then locating a
MARSH TIT
on the Heath, by no means a regular occurance, and finally
the jaunty fella that is the
GREAT TIT
Were this not enough, then came a Heart Stopper reporting that there was a
WHITE STORK
likely invading our air-space, but with no sighting or follow-up qualification we commited it to the
"might-have-been" list but on the up side did stimulate us to recover these images from the archive
of the flying bird and nest taken in Estonia and the annual mass winter gatherings at the
Sewerage Works
Sharm el Shaikh, Egypt.
