Bird makes light work of candle

When we took refuge from the heat of the afternoon in our grange we wondered what the knocking noise was - a bit like a woodpecker or nuthatch pecking away. We eventually spotted the culprit - a great tit. He was flying on to a shelf with some candles and pecking away at one of the wax offerings, but always the same one. It was quite a big white candle; the blue one eschewed. Perhaps it is a beeswax candle whereas the others are paraffin. Here he is having a quick wax snack.
