I try hard to catch the blue tit, but they are very shy and quick and come here so randomly, that it is almost impossible. Still I've noticed, that someone had this luck, lol. :D
About a month ago I saw a hawfinch behind my window - that was the first time I've ever seen him. But he wasn't that colourful as this one on the pictures (although it was a male).

Yeah right! Greenfinches do not share :laugh: they only want the feeding bowl for themselves.... :vangry:
Just like the %@$!^ pigeons that give such 'friendly' tugs on the neck. :rant:

I like the tactics of the great tits better, hit and run, sneak sneak.

A male greenfinch tried to chase three great tits, one blue tit and one "gaichka" :laugh: and then was replaced by a male blackbird who seems to be more peaceful.

Yeah it's being removed. Let's see what happens next :whistling:

... Sounds like someone is taking pictures (motor sounds of fast camera?). So maybe removed the fatballs for a clear view.

I recently posted a concern about the plastic mesh enclosing the fatballs. I do hope that the mesh will be removed from the fatballs if they are put back in place.
