David Cottridge sent me these 4 photos of Long-tailed Tits taken in late September during a walk on the Marshes (sorry for the delay in posting them).  Don’t forget to click on the images to enlarge them.

I only used to see Long-tailed tits in woodland areas but they now seem to have discovered garden bird feeders and I’m always delighted to see them on my feeders – I’ve seen a group of four in my garden at least 3 times already this autumn.
