Evening all,
May I gloat for just a bit. I came home from work about an hour ago and as is my usual go straight out to the back to see what action is going on in the garden especially now as the days are getting longer.
I saw some flitting by 2 small birds at the back near my hanging caged feeder and just thought oh how nice the blue or great tits are in when I noticed the long tail so grabbed the bins and I'm so excited to say it was two Long Tailed Tits. Now I know alot of you have these as regulars but this is a first for me! Admittedly they didn't stay very long, seemed more interested in checking out the bushes for insects but they did land so I'm pleased I can count them in my BTO count this week!
Regards
Kerry

Hi Kezmo,
Well done!! You have got your own back on me and it's my turn to be jealous. They are so pretty, like candy floss on sticks.
Cheers, Linda.

Well done, Kezmo. They are super little birds but they never stay long and are always on the move.

Hi Sparrow, TJ and Al
Yeah your'e right, they are lovely little birds and I see Sparrow why you call them candy floss on legs. I just love their stubby little beaks and the way their head and body seem to be an all in one thing without a neck!
