Field Notes

Description:

We were feeding the squirrels in the park (they are very tame and will eat out of your hand!) and this great tit unexpectedly flew to my hand for some cashews. It came to my hand about 3-4 times! I will have a video up soon.

Habitat:

St. James's Park in the middle of the city. Most of the animals are somewhat tame and used to humans.

Notes:

This was amazing! I'm sorry the pictures are a bit grainy and out-of-focus. It came and went very quickly. I had focused on the nut, but it came to the end of my hand the time I decided to get pictures.

Thanks everyone! Karen: I definitely agree. The animals in this park were amazingly tame.
How lovely! I miss the blue tits & great tits back home - they are so bold for their size!
