Long tailed tits.

No walk today and no beautiful morning sky. A dull day but not as wet as predicted.

By the time the afternoon light was darkening (getting perceptibly later) I hadn't got a blip. We seem to have been abandoned by the birds at the back garden feeders but suddenly Chris commented that there were lots of long tailed tits at the front garden feeders.

I took lots of shots from up stairs and down but these feeders are a bit further away so trickier to get decent shots. These were the best of the bunch. The fat block seems to be the main attraction, though they were busy in the Rowan tree even though there are no berries left.

They were being watched, enviously, by a couple of blackbirds. They seem to be aware of the food source but unable to access it. Eventually they flew down to pick up any bits that had fallen to the ground.

I like these little birds they have 'cheeky' little faces!
