Blue Tits never seem too shy to join in! (Aegithalos caudatus, Cyanistes caeruleus)

After a short session on my Patch, we called in at the Craighall feeders.

First down to the fatballs were some Long-tailed tits along with a young Blue Tit.

I think the Long-tailed tit flock has broken up now. Today none were to be seen at either feeding area, the last week only one came in to the Mause feeders.

What a charm-filled image, Delia! I've noticed that our Long-tailed Tits are visiting the garden in smaller groups or alone. Never seen this behaviour before.
