Exploring (Periparus ater)

Now for my first juvenile tit of the summer and this proved to be a Coal Tit. He seemed to be examining a broken branch, a vertical feature of this tree. It so reminds me of the vines growing up the eucalypts in the Australian rain forests.

Strangely, although I know this was taken at the Mause feeders, I was up there today and failed to find the tree it was on!!

A lovely capture of this little acrobat, Delia! We haven't had any Coal Tits in the garden for ages and I miss them very much. We had Treecreepers on my wife's coconut fat cakes today though. They were filled, for the first time this autumn, yesterday.
