Good news. It's the first year here that long-tailed tits have brought fledglings up to our garden feeders.

I missed the photo just now. There was a woodpecker here on one feeder, and an enormously brave long tailed tit on the second feeder.

We're clockwise. To be precise, one of the several long-tailed tits visiting here for food is working really hard at nest-sitting and shows a clockwise bend in the tail. UK.
Here's my citizen science for a quiet Sunday.

Here's something a little different from me - I've been wanting to do some nature based artwork for a while now, & I think I might have found my style for this with some artwork I made into family holiday greeting cards in December :)

Just been visited by a large family of long tailed tits. The collective name for these birds is, apparently, a ‘vollery’. This word doesn’t somehow capture the complete chaos of a long tail tit visit. I prefer ‘flurry’.

Here are two juveniles on our fat slab feeder. Looking forward to seeing them when their adult feathers grow out. #birds #aves #longtailedtits

Loved listening to the bird song in Kelvibgrove Square in the West End of Glasgow this morning. It's mostly the high-pitched squeaking of a family of newly fledged long-tailed tits.
