Marsh Tit [entita]

The marsh tit is so common around here, I almost forget how cute it is. Älje-Porsen nature reserve, Uddevalla, on June 22, 2019.

One of the best things of providing a variety of food at one's feeding station, is that on cold days like this, you get visits from a variety of birds. The marsh tits want sunflower seeds, the blackbirds go for the apples, while the great tits can do almost anything for a peanut. Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on February 6, 2017.

From the archive: The marsh tit is keen on the lard we provide in the feeder, but there's not much to do when one of the great spotted woodpeckers (this is the female one) shows no respect at all for the fine art of waiting in line. Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on March 19, 2015.

Busy at Our Feeding Station

The crows and the magpies helped finish the lard we'd placed in the coconut (we'll refill tomorrow), but there's still plenty of seeds for the smaller birds. Three of our most frequent visitors are represented in this pic. Unfortunately, the blue tits didn't want to join the party, nor did the blackbird. Later in the season, we hope for bullfinches, robins, and of course some woodpeckers. Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on December 3, 2015.
