I spent a couple of hours in the garden this afternoon (it cleared up and was amazing for the whole afternoon), burnt my nose and watched the tits just stocking up and, if the noise from the bushes was any indicator, preparing for another brood in a couple of weeks' time.

The war between the Blues and the Greats has been stepped up a notch. There are 2 males Greats, who regularly challenge each other but when the Blues arrive to feed, both Greats gang up on them!

An added bonus, the green linnet (greenfinch) brought his family out to play in the holly tree next door. There must have been a new hatch of lacewings or something because it was a positive feeding frenzy!
