I love the way you see these sweet comical birds. Perfect description! Made me laugh as I sat in my shed out of the rain and read it just now....while these super tits were whizzing about in the bushes and trees doing their thing..

haha thanks Sarah, I'm imagining you now in the shed with the rain pitter pattering on the roof! Such as good feeling to be in a shed in a downpour :D

I have some that visit the peanut feeder in the garden. I didn't know until I read about them that they use spiders webs to construct their nests they use it like stretchy elastic rope to hold the nest into the branches and it also allows the nest to expand as the chicks grow. How cool is that!

Yes it's amazing isn't it. Clever they must simply know how to do this, perhaps because they see the construction as chicks?

Loved your report on these sweet little birds, Jack, my favourites too! We live very close to a river here with lots of bushes around and they're always fluttering around chattering to each other! Just love it!

Thanks Sue, I think they are a very well loved bird :) I'm always excited to see them. That sounds like a wonderful setting for them, looking out from the bushes across the river.
