Signs of Spring

[shewhomust]

On Monday, when durham_rambler went to collect the milk bottles from the doorstep, he discovered that bluetits (probably) had pecked through the foil tops. (This morning, visiting the bathroom at five o'clock, he brought the milk in before the tits could get at it.)

This afternoon, workmen arrived to erect scaffolding up the front of the house: now we are ready for the builders to arrive and replace the windows.

I am sorry about the milk, though very pleased to have this classic example of animal learning come up in my feed.

Also - looking them up -- what pretty thieves!

They are such a common garden bird, I had forgotten to consider that you might not have them ...

Given how few foil topped bottles there are these days I'm amazed (and amused) that they have passed down those skills! :o)

We are a little enclave old old-fashioned folk - and blue tits to match!
