I don't know why but the lakes seem empty at the moment, unless they're all hiding around their nests. The smaller birds are still active though. A blue tit was the first to visit the feeding post at the car park, but he was so fast I couldn't get a focus on him.

This Dunnock was the next visitor, he nipped in before too many birds assembled and didn't come back once he'd had his fill

A magpie flew in skimmed the post with his feet, scattering the feed, and flew away again. I don't know why he did that, it looked like a clear case of bullying to me. But the Robin made the best of it and collected the spilled mealworm from the ground. I like the way the feathers, at the ends of the wings, stack like lolly sticks on this pic.

The Chaffinch was next and for once he stood up to the Robin and got a good feed.

I don't know if it was the same Blue tit as came first, but this one dropped something and stopped looking for it, long enough for a picture.

The Great Tit is another fast food addict who slowed down and even sat on the fence for me to get his picture.
