No, I'm not talking about the sky! I have a great tit visitor to the garden who looks like a coal tit with a chest stripe. Is it unusual for them to have no colour?
I just used sunflower hearts in one feeder and berry suet pellets in another and there was very little spillage!

Sounds like a plan!
The blue tits are so much neater.
They just take one sunflower heart at a time to nearest branch to eat, fascinating watching them deal with it but it must take so much energy feeding like that?
Both the great tits fly off in the same direction after they've made a mess, so presumably a nest somewhere? On occasion, though, they retire to a shrub in the garden with their pink bounty and eat it, holding it between their feet as they do so. I have a few photos of this but none without branches in the way.
Not a great photo
Hopefully a better view will occur one day...
Just watched No Tail use the new pink pellet feeder a few times then return again, eye up the other feeder and hop across, drop a load of seed on the floor and fly off with a pink pellet!
I think he just likes making a mess.
That's amazing Simonali, never saw them at the suet pellet feeder once in my garden!
I only put it up half an hour before that post and am sitting right underneath it.
Have two dunnocks and a young robin milling about near my feet as I type.
That's unusual normaly their quite skittish
