Wow that's fantastic Jacob. I sat for a few seconds wondering what the fuss was then noticed that there was a live video link - clicked that and you couldn't shift for birds! No wonder people have to fill their feeders every day is it?

I don't know Jack sh1t but I think they are coal tits. Great tits have more yellow on them (or, praps the colour isn't great) - I spect Nick might know for sure. It was him with all the pics wasn't it?

Just been having a watch, they seem to be coal tits attacking the feeder at the moment,going back to see if I can spot the woodpecker. Bit worried this could become addictive. I spent ages watching a link to ospreys in the spring!
