Great tit

Parus major, who's known as Great Tit,
Likes to nibble these nuts quite a bit.
When it's pouring with rain
There's no need to explain
That my banquet he's not quick to quit.

At last the rain arrived today! It's been torrential all day without respite - and a good thing too (see the parched grass of my yesterblip!).

At one point there were three very sodden blue tits on the nuts but haven't blipped a great tit before, so here he is. (He and a soggy vole were vying for position, but the winged one won.)

And, now, my husband and daughter are waiting to share a televisual feast with me, so can't stop. Will try and catch up with comments tomorrow.
