I have to admit to a little cheat here- I stuffed a fat ball into the tree some days back, in an attempt to lure them to this tree, as I had a great place to sit and wait and I was rewarded with another chance to photograph this lovely little bird.

Love the way they use their tail as a support

Thanks for looking

Thank you John - glad you like it

Thank you Robert - I thought I should put it out there, rather than being mobbed by certain people on this site
