A flock of young bluetits has found our bird-feeder. I have my
suspicions about where they nest, but I'm not going to risk disturbing
them by finding out. Large images follow:

everything.
There are at least four bluetits here. I've seen up to six at a time.
The first day we saw them, the juveniles were clinging on to the
feeder itself or to the rods of the feeding tower while the adult fed
them. By now they're quite able to manage it for themselves.
The feeder at rear left is filled with niger seed, for finches. The
bluetits don't seem to mind it.
This is my favourite. The sun came out at just the right moment.
