Last one for now, I started this series with a Long-tailed tit, and am finishing it with one as well

Heard this poem for the first time a couple of years ago and learnt to my delight that an old name for long-tailed tits is 'bumbarrels' - it comes from the way they form their nests. You've captured some lovely images - not easy as they 'flit down the hedgerows' at a fair lick in my experience! Always a joy to see them on the feeders ๐Ÿ™‚

@[email protected] great poem. Not seen that before. It's true that they are almost constantly on the move, but when they perch, you get about a second to focus and take a shot.
