Same As

[poliphilo]

I know it's turned warmer because the water in the rabbit's drinking bowl which was frozen solid last night is just a kind of snowy mush this morning but everything looks the same. The ground is still icy, the sky is still overcast.

I think that might have been a long-tailed tit eating at the fat-filled coconut shell but I didn't get to the field glasses fast enough. If it was it's a first.

A little later: Definitely a long-tailed tit. And not just one of them but four.

One of my favourite birds, the long-tailed tit - just so impossibly tiny with such a great long tail. And I love the way they spend as much time upside down as right way up...

One of nature's acrobats.

And so sweet looking too.

Richenda's favourite bird! I'd be very surprised if there was only one - they are very flocky!

Boo! I'm so jealous. Our coal tit was AWOL this year...

Had to look for a pic as we don't have that bird here, and how wonderful that there was four of them.
