Peanut Success

Peanut success

It was snowing all yesterday in rural Worcestershire, UK, so the peanut feeder was especially busy. This industrious blue tit was very pleased with its success.

I wonder if there's something in the shape that makes them like it more. We have one now with a similar shape to this one and frequently see a great tit on it. Previously we had a cylindrical one (mysteriously vanished) which hardly ever had a bird on it.

I think they like clinging to the wire frame. It gives them a good purchase while they work the nuts out from between the wires.
