It was a thoroughly miserable day, dull, wet and windy so I thought I'd take my PAD shot from the comfort of indoors.
Imagine my shock when I realised that Mr Rat had joined the birds on the feeders and was helping himself to the fat balls.
This Great Tit didn't seem at all perturbed and continued eating.

Nice catch. My dad had to take his feeders down after the old Westinghouse plant was torn down because the rats came in droves!

:) Mr. Rat has discovered the buffet! I once found 3 little rats trapped inside my bird feeder. I think they stuffed themselves until they couldn't fit through the opening any more. This is a really cool catch of the unusual lunch mates.
