My blog is mostly about wildlife, particularly birds, walking, days out, all growing things and anything else that comes to mind.

Welcome visitors

My PC is at the front of the house and upstairs. Quite often in the late afternoon/early evening I'm treated to the twittering of Long-tailed Tits. They fly across from a tree opposite then land on the telephone wire before descending into my neighbour's bushes.

And tonight I had another visit. Needless to say the camera was downstairs but they obliged by staying around while I rushed around maniacally to get the camera and, despite the very poor light I did manage to get these. Hopefully they'll return another day.... If only they'd perch a little further along the cable which is only about 8 feet from the house at the closest point!

Very nice that they stayed long enough for you to get photos - and a nice way to end the day.
