Blue Tit practising for Santa Tit? IMG_2815

When I looked out from my window I saw a Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus or Parus caeruleus) with beard! Two days ago I brushed our dog and left the hair on purpose. I thought that somebody might need them - and I was right!

That's awesome! He will have a nice warm nest now!!

That is so cute! Insulating nesting material for this bird!

Oh, that's beautiful. You can see its 'beard' even better when you enlarge the picture.
