Taken a big step to my goal of being the 'birdman' this morning!
For the first time, a tit perched on my hand while eating seeds from my palm. Think it was a Coal Tit, from the head markings & size.
Just kept stock still for a short bit and out it flew from some head height rhododendrons, first a circular flight over my hand then out to land on the index finger of my right hand.
Soon I foresee flocks of tits, crows and all the birds of the world circling over my head, waiting, waiting for my command!
