Cheeky coal tit kicking out the nut that is not worthy eating

This cheeky coaltit disposes off the nut it doesn't deem worthy to eat. The bird picks the peanut up with its beak, then drops it down and side-kicks it off the nut-hut, which used to be a bug-house. The bug-house turned into the nut-hut ( like a British pub ) when the bee-hotel got destroyed by, what we believe to have been, the woodpecker and squirrel, however, we have no proof of that as the camera did not trigger for the demolition action.
Welcome to Our Wildlife Oasis where we have put up several cameras to get footage of our daily visitors. We leave out treats and water for them. Especially on hot days the water is very much appreciated by the wonderful British wildlife that comes into our garden to visit the wildlife pit-stop, the nut-hut, the birdfeeder or the bird-bath. We are lucky to have a big garden in Berkshire in England and we get to see many birds, grey squirrels, foxes and hedgehogs. We try not to feed them too much, sometimes leaving out a few days so they do not get dependent on us, at the end of the day, these are wild creatures and their survival depends on being resourceful and we do not want to give them a false sense of a secured food source. The cameras record night and day and I pick the footage and edit it for the final cut. I could watch these beautiful animals all day long and I do get through a lot of footage. Sometimes the cameras do not pick things up that I see in the garden either.
