Take a look at our news blog for the picture and story of a long-tailed tit and her 11-strong brood, pictured by RSPB volunteer Gary Shilton, who works at Fairburn Ings two or three times a week. We defy you not to say "ahhhhh"

Well, you warned us and I was determined not to say ahhhhhh, I didn't succeed! It is impossible not to react.
How fantastic, thank you for posting. I don't buy a paper so would have definitely missed this. What an achievement for those parents.
Kind regards Jane.
"Aahhhhh" indeed. A really beautiful photo and how fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. I'm sure I saw this in the National papers who must have picked up on it..

How totally adorable. I love LTTs. Whenever I see them they are in large family groups. I hope the citizens of Fairburn have stocked up their feeders!!
