Tits and Bums ..............

........ that is ..... the bottoms of Long-tailed Tits on the feeder!!!! (sorry guys!)

Bigger Bums

Long-tailed Tits are also known as L0ng-tailed Bushtits (Aegithalos cauditus) and are found in Europe and the UK although rarely seen in the far north and north-west of Scotland.

This is the first time I have seen them in the garden and I only got this one shot through the dining room window before they got spooked and flew away - I waited and waited in the hope they would come back but no luck ...... as you can see we had a fair amount of snow this morning although it is melting in the sunshine now.

Thank you for all your comments and stars yesterday.

As I mentioned yesterday a FREE camera-school is starting online in late April/early May ...... it might be possible to start a forum here on blip for anyone who signs up so that we can help each other and exchange info after the course starts - details of the course >> here << ...... for those of you not in the UK I understand (from Paladian) that you can access the magazine online.
