The Hooded Crows are using the road concrete for breaking the nuts in order to eat them. They throw them from great height or they simply put them there and wait for a car to pass over them and break the shell. When they finish their meal, the Blue Tits take over and complete the task by eating the last tiny pieces of food as shown in this picture.

Beautiful color and nice exposure. might benifit from a lower angle , if possible. Wonderful to see how different species adapt different ways to feed.
Seems a bit over-sharpened.
What a wonderful blue tit image. I think this is the first blue tit image I've seen with a low angled/ground presentation.
Beautiful bird. If the head had been slightly angled away from you, the bill would show better in profile. I really like
how the shell remnants show (excellent shooting angle), and the accompanying text goes with the image perfectly.
A gentle, selective pass of NR on the bg and the oof portion of the fg is worth considering....
Love the explanation of the behaviour...both by the crows and these guys. Nice low angle and colours. I agree with HA, and with what looks like a bit of oversharpening. I could also see less canvas above.
Very nice image with nice detail throughout. The colors are great as well, and your low angle really separates you from the bird. I do think it's a bit oversharpened, and would consider toning it down a bit.
