The Crested tit has a well visible crest, and black and white head markings, in all plumages, ages, and sexes, however the crest is smaller on juveniles.
These plants are weeds growing on the farm. I think they are Bindweed and the flowers are very pretty.
The tubuler flowers remind me of Morning Glory and are just as invasive.
The Doronicum flowers with their bright yellow heads brighten a dark place in my garden.
The Pampas-grass forms a fence behind some of our grazing sheep.
The exeptionally bushy tufts on this squirrel made me smile!:)
He had a gorgeous bushy tail to match the tufts, and also his coat was lighter in colour from the ones I had seen previously
He must have been just passing though, as I haven't seen him at any time since.
One last shot before he leapt off the bird table, leaving a lasting impression.
The Crested Tit's are mainly insectivorous, but whenever there is wallnut cake, they finish it in no time.
It's a nice bird to see at the feeders, but I love hearing their purring or bubbling trill, and hear it long before they come into sight.

Absolutely marvellous photos! The squirrel is one of the most handsome I've seen with such a glowing glossing coat! I did love seeing your sheep too and am always interested to know what breeds they are?
Bindweed is pretty but very invasive!
Have a lovely weekend!

Wanderful photos of those lowely birds,cute.
Well those Crested Tit Birds were so cute, love that top notch and that squirell just stole my heart. He certainly did have some large tufts of fur on those ears. Very different from the squirrels here.
Your images are wonderful! Your flowers are gorgeous, your squirrel is absolutely delightful, and your Crested Tits make me extremely jealous! - they are very difficult to find in UK, being confined to parts of Scotland. Best wishes - - Richard
Bellìssimo, marvellous!!!

Crested tit, I have never themselves can get in the picture. Beautiful pictures of these beautiful crested tit. The squirrel also shines so beautiful and his coat :-) Delicious photos.
What gorgeous photos of the squirrel and the crested tit's.
Fabulous photos of the birds and the critters! Have a wonderful week!
The crested tit is a very attractive bird, The large ears on the squirrel was a surprise to see--I never saw a squirrel like that before--he must be a good listener . It was nice to see your pretty flowers and pasture--we have had snow for two days
Lovely series of pictures.. Cheers..
My gosh I've never seen a squirrel with ears like that! And the crested tit in the top picture looks like IT has ears (I know it is the crest, but from that angle ....)....Great pictures of both.
The Crested Tits are really handsome and I'd go mad seeing a squirrel like that. Never seen one int the wild. I also like the scene of the pampas grass and sheep.
Wow! Wonderful animal and bird shots today. Especially the pampas grass and little tit.
Beautiful crisp, colourful photos. Pretty birds and cute squirrel. I like the sheep.
What a beautiful looking squirrel. I really like the tufty ears. The crested tit is lovely too & the flowers on that plant is pretty good for a weed.
Such and interesting and unusual squirrel! That tit is a handsome bird.
