Well caught Jeff, not many around here this year,,,:-)

A couple of super shots Jeff. I noticed that the birds in our garden have started to get a bit frisky recently, chasing each other about.

Reminds me I've got 26 nest boxes to (re-)find and clean out! I think that traditionally this was supposed to be done before Valentine's day but - as you've noted - the warm sun of the last couple of days has got all the local tits chasing each other around early this year.

Apart from sparrows, great tits are now by far the most frequent visitors to the feeders here. The smaller blue tits are struggling to compete!

antpitta We had a couple of smart new nest boxes given to us for Christmas - I haven't installed them yet! The house sparrows will just nest anywhere they can in the roof eves but the tits do need a more discerning home!

That is indeed a lovely pair. The details are perfect.
