in praise of tits!

Share and share alike.

I managed to quickly grab my camera and get this pic just before the Sparrow flew off.
Taken in my back garden a few years back.

Is that a Dormouse?

Some brilliant photos on this thread. Very impressive.

When I went fishing last week, some tit was plucky enough to perch on the edge of my bait-box and help itself to a few maggots. I think I would've spooked it if I tried to take its picture, though.

That was our back garden - the grass is a bit tidier now.

In the wild rather than a garden - at a picnic table.

Mrs W's mother has a house in Shropshire, and feeds the birds regularly. Here are a few of her visitors.

Certantly looks like one. A rare photograph indeed.

We had one of these in our gardens a few years back. A Jay. He enjoyed catching Sparrows to rip apart and eat.
Beautiful looking birds though.

Not sure. The ears look a little large. I thought Wood Mouse.

Dormice are also quite golden, Wood Mice are browner...

Cute, whatever it is!

Here's another one from our garden, taken through a window. The green woodpecker is perched on the side of a shallow flowerbed wall, eating ants from the bed, then it spots me.

Ok, so I'm a little surprised no one has already mentioned this (perhaps there's a reason)...but here goes.

My wifes not a big fan of tits, but she sent me this picturte of a lovely cock.

Yes, jays are beautiful looking birds. They're also quiet and shy - it's really hard to believe that they're related to crows.

That cock is gorgeous! (Now, there's a sentence I never thought I'd write....)
