I started feeding the birds a week ago at the usual place, and this morning I want to see the results and of course I want to do some photography.
Soon after I placed the landing branch the flock of tits are coming:
Great Tit
Great Tits
Blue Tit
Marsh Tit
Suddenly a pheasant cock is walking near my hide in silence, but I know he's sneaking to the feeder to pick up the fallen seeds. After some time he's coming back with interest to the frozen drinking pool where I have placed the seeds and with a light jump he's on top of the pool. I haven't placed too much seed and what I've placed it's gone by this time, so my pheasant is unlucky as he can't find anything:
Pheasant
However he tries the little blue berries of my landing branch! He doesn't like it so he leaves.
As soon as I've placed some food again the tits are back:
Great Tit
Marsh Tit
Great Tit
Blue Tit
The jays appear as well, they come for the sunflower seed one after the other. For my greatest pleasure one of them is even jumping on my branch:
