THE COAL tit periparus ater and The Great tit parus major

Dear fellow bloggers due to my computer getting spoilt, I have been unable to blog or explain why, but now I am using a familiar computer which used to belong to my late husband, it isn't new, far from it, but it works better than mine used to do. It has taken such a long time to start blogging again because my late husband's computer was absolutely full, and it had important items of information which had to be sifted through, and I also had too many photos that hadn't been deleted.  It was so frustrating because I missed you all so much and many thanks to those of you who stopped by just to say hello  and wish me well. it was so nice of you to think of me and I am looking forward to visiting your much appreciated blogs. It really feels good to be starting a post today. I hope you enjoy these few bird images. The Coal Tit and Great Tit are birds I see more frequently, but the Great tit is so timid that it is extremely difficult to capture on camera, and whilst the Coal tit is usually most confiding, it is also beginning to exhibit the same kind of behaviour, so I haven't taken many photos of either bird.

There you have it,  birds that visit my balcony in the dozens every day, but fly away with food to eat elsewhere.Now that the trees are bare of leaves you would think it would be easy to see them, but they hide in bushes and in conifers, but I'm hopeful that other species will eventually appear so I can also share them with you. See you soon! Warm hugs to everyone.

What a happy start to my day, Sonjia, to see that you are back with us. The tits are lovely, and as soon as other species realize that you are blogging again and that their portrait will be disseminated around the world, they will all primp and pose and you will have scores of images to share with us. Your balcony, after all, is THE bird magnet in all of Portugal. Let’s hope that your husband’s old computer keeps on chugging away. Hugs and kisses - David
