The birds have been enjoying the sunflower hearts at last.
So much so that I have to top up the mangeoire every couple of days. There have been lots of:
Mésange bleue blue tits
Mésange charbonnière great tits
But today I noticed a

Mésange noire coal tits
With its distinctive white band at the back of its head.

And then the real local beauty.

Une mélange huppée.
And what a lovely crest it has too.
