A welcome visitor

The birds and I have a happy relationship. I feed them, putting out nuts, seeds and fat balls,
and they, in turn, provide me with lots of entertainment and photo opportunities.
The cold weather has returned - a heavy overnight frost brought ice on the puddles, and
there was snow on the mountains but none down here at sea level.
I didn't feel like venturing very far today, apart from taking Fudge for a walk, so I just
opened the kitchen window and waited for one of my colourful visitors to arrive.

Very nice snap of the little blue tit. It gives so much pleasure watching birds!V!

Unfortunately there are very few photogenic avian visitors around my place, so you're lucky there; but sometimes you make your own luck and this shot is an example. The expression of the bird peeking out from behind the feeder makes for a good snapshot-story.
