Thought it was going to be incredibly quiet in the garden today as there’d been very little and then a mixed flock of tits came through including 3 of my favourites the Long-tailed Tit – Know Your Tits – Long-tailed Tits – something I wrote last year as I was trying to get my hands working again and get myself excited about photography & birding – okay never lost either passion just hadn’t been doing it. I would get a bit down when I heard of a great bird sighting or seeing a fantastic photo as I knew I couldn’t get out and see the bird or take photos! I’ve added a photo of a Long-tailed Tit that was shot out of the bedroom window while I was recovering from my first ankle surgery. The flock included the 3 long-tailed tits, 3 coal tits, 2 blue tits and a great tit:
- Blackbird x 2
- Blue Tit x 2
- Coal Tit x 3
- Dunnock x 2
- Great Tit x 1
- Herring Gull x 1 – I think it looked to be a juvenile
- House Sparrow x 2
- Long-tailed Tit x 3
- Magpie x 1
- Woodpigeon x 3

My location as ever at my house, I hope this changes soon!
