Blue tit

Blue tit
This is the first visitor to my hi-tech feeding facility. It has not returned. Perhaps the fare was not to its liking? Perhaps the tit abstains from all except fixed I/P address installations?

So, my IoT feeder has been online for about three weeks. The solitary species to take any interest at all until today has been the blue tit. Now, I feel no prejudice against our cyanotypic guests. They are welcome to any seed they take a fancy to (moth, I'm afraid, is 'off'). Video stardom, however, has yet to be achieved by the tit.

What chance of something a little more exotic? A Golden oriole, perhaps, or a crossbill? I must assume these two are currently occupied with their screen tests for Steven Spielburg. A stand-in of lesser renown appears in their place -

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.
