Have you tried suet?

Liz, I can assure you that one lovely pair of tits would be adequate for me but I guess I never found a pair that would settle with me.

Kindness nothing, the bitch was bigger than Shelob and she sat there for nearly a month!

Georgian - there are some guys who would say two dozen are not enough....

The tits have been busy at the feeders.. they have ignored the peanut net and the mixed grain, going straight for the black sunflower seeds hanging in the middle. Seems they're as picky as some children I know...

Liz - spiders don't often reuse a web, although they might get two days out of one. You can sometime test for occupancy with a tuning fork. If it was a common garden orbweb spider it would be in the middle of the web anyway. But I do appreciate your kindness to arachnids.

I saw a Great Tippler's Nightcap yesterday, plain as day! Right there in the backyard.

Beautiful tits,
Spotted today.
Tried to grab them,
They flew away.

Sadly we seem to have a bit of a shortage of birds - probably the fault of the neighbourhood cats. Ah well, moving house soon, and we'll try and rent somewhere out in the country where there's more interesting fauna than just the local variety of Chav Tit. (Which has the locating call of "KEL-LY", because the aforesaid Kelly's friends are too thick to work out complex mechanisms like doorbells...)

If I had an 8 ft spider on MY spade, I wouldn't move it either...

Oh, ponder the Parus atricapillus
In size, 'twixt a bicycle and a bacillus
But ignore Alfred Hitchcock, he'd never kill us
Would the genial Parus atricapillus

I love them - they seem to fly away only out of some sense of face-saving responsibility to the other birds.

That's fine Robin.. but could you please stop crapping down my spade handle?

Yes, I know the spade should have been in the shed but it's had an 8ft spider web on it until recently, and I didn't have the heart (or nerve) to move it.

That bird is called a black capped Chickadee here. In fact, it's the state bird.
Friendly little tits they be too. Not uncommon to be able to draw them to eat from your hand.

Ok Spaw, friendly tits...go

All we've got in our garden is a tell-tale tit, a silly old crow, a daft bustard and a funny tern.

This time of year the long tailed tits return in flocks too. It's fun to see how many can fit on a single peanut feeder.

We still have plenty of berries I think nature must be anticipating a hard winter in her abundance but then our blackbirds much prefer anything I grow for my own table.

This morning, my great and blue tits were joined by a coal tit.

I love this time of year - the gentle defoliation means the exposure of all those crannies that were covered in the summer. The lack of leaves on the bastard service tree meant I got a clear view of the coal tit that had previously not been visible.

As for the rest of the garden....

The blackbirds have denuded my bush of berries, they're welcome to them because I need to trim it to more treelike stature before next Spring. They're going to be in trouble when it comes to househunting.... we're acquired a robin who's househunting too! He's been bouncing around the garden as if he were on springs, shouting the odds from the bay tree and daring the cats to come and have a go.... plucky little bugger he is.
