True blue

This blue tit is noticeable because his head is more brilliantly blue than the others.

I have not seen the long-tailed tits for a while and after I saw that sick coal tit, I have seen one on a couple of occasions. But the coal tits came alone, so it was hard to tell if the same one kept returning or a few made visits. I guess now that at least two did.

The great tits are becoming a little less flighty. One ate a peanut in the front lilac while I was close and he kept on speaking in between beakfuls, little phrases, and squeaks like a metal gate that needs oiling.

The blackbird subsings in the hedge which is just magical.
