It is 8 Blue Tits I have seen, as for Great Tits, Chaffinches, Blackbirds, Robins, Goldfinches, the number is a bit higher!<br />JJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873306254026879892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142825947393690787.post-47998729215594200452011-06-30T15:00:17.302+01:002011-06-30T15:00:17.302+01:00Hi John,

I've been away in British Columbia observing the wildlife. And no, not just Canadian humans :)<br />Great photos of the Blue Tit. You know, it kinda' looks like it's eating a 'Rice Krispie marshmallow square....<br />Cheers John.<br />With respect and kind wishes, Gary.klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142825947393690787.post-46742537569501987952011-06-28T22:56:24.542+01:002011-06-28T22:56:24.542+01:00Wonderful photographs as always.
