Long-tailed Tits like Fat Don't They?


Male Chaffinch

I just had time to pop in to Dryslwyn Car Park where some kind person lays out food for the birds. There were lots of Greenfinches and Chaffinches.  The males of the latter species looking very smart indeed.  I also noted 3 Tree Sparrows.

Long-tailed Tits eating fat.
 The most interesting thing though was a pair of Long-tailed Tits feeding on fat which had been rubbed into the bark of a tree.  I have seen this species on most garden bird food including fat balls but not doing this before.
