I was very tempted to run with a headline that involved the words tits and orgy for this post, almost certainly would have done wonders for my visitor stats. Yesterday afternoon I swapped the positions of the seed feeder and the fatball feeder. As I closed the back door we had a visit from a blue tit.
Blue Tit
Nothing unusual about that, but then this lot turned up.
Long-tailed Tits
These long-tailed tits are less frequent visitors to our garden, but they make up for their rare visits by turning up in bulk.
Busy little critters aren’t they?
At this time of year you often see them flocking with blue tits.
Pretty little things too
We get a lot of Tits in our garden, and visits from the Long Tailed variety are always dramatic. Great to watch.
I think they are some of my favourite garden visitors after the woodpecker
On the subject of stats have you noticed that they have dipped recently?
I did notice a dip between May and November, but mine are back on the up again.
Such pretty birds. My parents had Great Tits nesting in their garden last year – unfortunately my Dad decided to find out more about them and Googled ‘great tits’….
Rarely a wise thing to do
