Do you know what it is? Looking at the beak I'm guessing he eats bugs, but then, what do I know?

@gardencat Thank you Joanne, oh sorry I thought everyone would know these by now. It's a Long Tailed Tit, but it is actually in a different flamily to all our other Tits, Blues, Greats, Coal, Marsh, Willow and Crested.
I think yours are called Titmice ?

good camouflage colours - very well matched to the thorny branches

@markp Well that’s interesting. I’m not familiar with Titmice. I do have chickadees that come to my feeder and apparently they are from the same family. While researching to find out if the correct term is Titmice or Titmouses (apparently either is acceptable now although titmouses may be the more pure version based on etymology) I came across an article purporting to give advice on what to put in your feeders to attract these birds. Looks like I am already stocking everything they recommend so I have to assume my neighbourhood is titmouse deficient at this point.
