Long-tailed Tit

Long-tailed Tits must be among the most popular of small birds, They are group raiders that do not seem to have time to hang around complying with pecking orders around feeders or trees and bushes, they just dive straight in and grab what they want and move on before other birds turn against them, They do the rounds in family groups of up to a dozen or so covering quite large territories only to re-appear at any given location several times each day and at Stithians feeding station they add an interesting spectacle to a location that is already busy with birds but do they wait their turn, No chance, they just pile in for some welcome hand outs and are off on their way again,
