A pair of Blackcaps have taken up residence in my garden, both the female |
 |
and male are very possessive of this new feeder. |
 |
especially the female, who is most confrontational with any bird who comes near. |
 |
There have been a few altercations between the Blackcaps and The Great tits. |
 |
 |
One Coal Tit with the Great Tit, who seems to be checking out the other birds!:) |
 |
The Blue Tits just wait patiently until the Blackcaps move away, but they don't linger. |
 |
There are a pair of Great Tits also in the garden, and I'm hoping to get a shot of them both together one day |
 |
 |
The Coal Tits are often chased away by the Blackcap female, who hides in the vines overhead. |
 |
The Crested Tits were the first birds to inspect the new feeder. |
 |
Besides the birds shared here, the Robins and a Long-tailed Tit and Greenfinches have paid visits to the feeder. |

it is really a cute feeder. and obviously the birds like it a lot.
Gorgeous feeder! And what wonderful visitors to it! Have a beautiful day!
Oooh, I so LOVE your bird feeder!! Your captures are all so beautiful.
Have a woderful weekend :)
Some beautiful little birds you have there. We don't get many brightly coloured little birds here. In our yard we mostly get Sparrows, Blackbirds, Starlings & Wattle Birds. We had a few colourful Parrots in our Bottle Brush tree a few times a few weeks ago so I managed to get a couple of photos. Haven't seen them again since. We do get Galahs, Ravens, Magpies, Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, Black Cockatoos, Kookaburras & Seagulls as fly overs but they never land in our yard.
I'm so overjoyed after reading your comment on ~ My little old world ~, I appreciate every single word you wrote, and I appreciate so much to have you amongst my followers, as well, I wholeheartedly thank you and cannot help but following you in turn, your photographies are truly stunning !
Enjoy the end of your week,
with sincere thankfulness

Hello, I like your new feeders. You have some beautiful garden birds. I love the Blackcaps and the Crested Tit are a few of my favorites. Great shots. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
Great to see that the feeder is such a success. That is quite some variety of birds it has attracted.
A walk in restaurant to these birds.

A great collection of different Tits. And the bonus Blackcap.
Such a pretty feeder & clearly much appreciated by the birds! Your photos of them all are wonderful! I think the blue tits are my favourites!

Están preciosos, me encantan. Besitos.
Blogoratti,
Hello, I have tried to make a comment once again on your blog but the screen image stops,and the mouse,.. not even escape works, so I have to turn off my computer to start again. I enjoy reading, so this a shame.I left you a message on another of my posts in the hope that at some stage you might read it. I beleave you were reading The Good Earth at the time, a book I read when a teenager, which recently I re-read with different mature eyes, Pearl Buck opened them to a culture I knew very little about,and I enjoyed it much better the second time.
Hope you see this!):)
Pretty feeder in design of birds perching and I liked the way coal tit watching other birds... very beautiful series on little birds. I too have a feeder, but haven’t filled anything. Hope at least this summer I make some arrangement for birds to visit and make a birdbath.
I love the bird feeder. As always your photography is amazing!!!
I love the tits. They're adorable little birds.
Glad you finally put it up! Looks great and it's good to see it's already being used :) Your lovely daughter who gives fantastic presents... Love Evinha, XX
very nice feeder you have. Looks great on the bush.
And you have all my favorite birds. Nice to there are some. Where I live it was a bad breathing season last summer so the forest is more or less empty :(
What a beautiful birdfeeder!
And so much better, that it WORKS!

What an attractive bird feeder adn I see the birds seem to love it also.
Your feathered friends seem to like this new feeder!
Very cute birds.
Great pics and cute feeder.
The new feeder is definitely pulling in the birds.
Good series!
The new feeder has worked very well. And fancy having Crested Tits on a garden feeder. It only happens way up in Scotland here as there are no cresties south of the border.
What a wonderful array of species. I want to come and sit in your backyard!
Wonderful photos! Oh, I just love the beautiful bird feeder! What a lovely gift! And the birds are sure enjoying it too.
Wonderful shots and love the bird feeder.
