great pics...thanks for sharing. I rigged up a bird feeding station a few weekends ago, and its plain to see in weather like this that our feathered friends are taking full advantage...we need to give them all the help we can give.
Great pics.
I see the Coal Tit has been ringed.
Not an expert, I'm sure if I'm wrong someone with greater knowledge will correct me, but I think the close up is a Great Tit, the other is a Blue Tit, nd some sort of finch..
Ahh Coal Tit is it? Ta. Aye one of the neighbours is an ortithingamist. He's does RSPB stuff, such as ringing.
As above, so many of our wee friends are wiped out at this time of year and rely on us to supplement their food, but just as important remember to give them access to water as it freezes and is hard to source for them, so change it as often as you can before it is a solid block of ice..

Amazing photo's what type of camera did u use ,,, i'v got six feeders in my garden and all i get is sparrows , blue tits , starlings , and the odd robin ...
It's always hard when using a long lens and a wide aperture to get the bird in pin sharp focus and a few of your otherwise great shots have suffered this.
It often pays off to set the focus manually on the food and take some test shots to make sure you have it set 100% - also, while your bokeh is nice you could probably drop an f stop and still have it nice which would help keep the birds better focussed.
Don't take my comments as negatives though, they're really great shots and I got a lot of pleasure looking at them.
