An Extended Visit

Recently there have been brief visits by a small flock of Long Tailed Tits but a couple of days ago a group of about five stayed in and around the garden for about three hours making occasional sorties to the bird feeders:

They were most interested in the various fat based treats so I've made sure there are plenty to choose from.

  3. The farmer sees them working up the hedges in the fields and talking to one another as they go. They sometimes come to the fatballs on the feeders - they are such pretty birds.

    1. Weaver: They usually give themselves awaw by their constant twittering. One of my favourites.

    1. Simon: It was so unusual for them to stay such a long time - unless they were sections of a larger group moving through the area.
