Great tits As in, the bird. And all right, OK, it's 3 shots of the same bird - but that foils my desire to make puns. |

Hop-along You can't tell from this photograph, but this adorable little ball of fluff only has one leg.
When I first saw it, one leg was dangling pathetically behind it, and it looked like a huge effort to perch on anything because the leg would catch on things. The leg looks like it's possibly dropped off altogether, now. :( It doesn't even look like it's tucked up in its fluff, just... gone. Everything is still a huge wing-flapping effort, though. I suppose it must be really hard to balance. |

Hop-along My one-legged robin lunging for a crumb that's fallen down off the fat-ball holder. I put out a whole dish of food (you can see it in my pigeon photos), but apparently the fat-balls are better. |

Hop-along "What'choo looking at, anyway? Stop taking photos, person." |
 |
Hop-along Action shot! A fluttering lunge for another morsel. Seriously, this poor little bird goes to such a huge effort to feed itself; it must be exhausting.
I've not actually seen him/her for a few days, so I'm a little worried. I keep putting food out - the pigeons aren't eating ALL of it - but I've not seen either "Hop-along" or its mate recently. |

Hop-along's friend They're either mates, or just... unnaturally pacifist. They don't fight when they're together at the feeder, at least. |

Muted Sun On one side of the flat, the sun was peeking out through a really heavy, black cloud. |
 |
Twinkling Rain That feeble, clouded sun gave some beautiful twinkling rain... |

Evening Rainbow ...and on the other side of the flat, a full rainbow! (Although it was so much brighter and more beautiful in real life.) |
