Figs, Miss Muffet and blue tits

The fig tree in the summer  house is completely leaf bare but has about50 figs  half of which will survive the winter and will get ripe in May/June,

While in the summer house that I have made into a hide to watch the birds in the back garden  this blue tit came in through the open glass door

It did not panic as one may think a trapped bird would do on seeing A human in such close proximity.  so I took a couple of shots   then I sat down and waited for it to finish cleaning what grubs it found on the fig tree,it was  on the tree for about 5 minutes before it flew out  on the feeder.

Chaffinch and Dunnock in the front garden, there was three male chaffinch in back the garden ,

 

Female blackbird  feeding on the apples

Then this little fellow  decided to do a miss muffet
 and sat on the pillow beside me while taking snaps of the birds.


Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey,
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Early birds

Blue tits are always on the feeders first light

Robin in the early morning sun

birds in the front garden,

These two shots are on as they are the only ones I managed to get of the greenfinch,
 the past two days have been so dismal   I have only managed to get shots through the front room window and that also makes the shots darker . 

there was about 30 tits  on the feeders today I may try and get a video tomorrow 

even the sparrows are venturing inside the cage to feed.

the chaffinch was real busy in the shrubs catching whatever grubs came its way,

there are four Dunocks in the front garden  they only feed from whatever the tits spill from the feeders the ground

around my house.

Without the worms and slugs making compost would be hard  work
