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.
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.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
such adorable little birds.
ReplyDeleteTWG: They are always welcome here.
DeletePeaceful little things and I find them attractive. A good day.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: True, I have never seen them squabble.
DeleteThey must be greatly entertaining to watch, John!
ReplyDeleteWilma: They are.

ReplyDeleteWeaver: They usually give themselves awaw by their constant twittering. One of my favourites.
DeleteWish mine wouldn't be so fleeting!
ReplyDeleteSimon: It was so unusual for them to stay such a long time - unless they were sections of a larger group moving through the area.
