Had a lovely cup of tea time this morning watching 2 great tits and 2 coal tits flitting to the sunflower seed feeder. Its very cute the way they take one seed, then fly upto a perch to deal with it. I think the cutest thing is when they wipe their beaks on the branch before flying down for another.
I was quite surprised to see the coal tits taking Nyger seed from the thistle feeder! They seem to love it, I guess their beaks are small enough to be able to pick them out of the tiny holes.
When we move I shall miss this set of birds, they dont come constantly through the day, but when they do come theyre a real joy.

The tits in my garden are partial to the nyger seed too - when they can get past the siskins.
