I had no idea what it was, and have been walking past this patch for months without taking any notice of it until it was suddenly alive with small birds.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-941884803033171662019-01-11T06:23:21.426+00:002019-01-11T06:23:21.426+00:00Hi Ralph- lovely video of the Long-tailed Tits.

They're feeding on the seeds of one of the Conyza fleabanes- probably C. sumatrensis- weedy aliens that are common in London's waste areas.<br /><br />Loved the photo of the Lesser Black-back with Crows hoping for a tit bit + the Cormorant with a mix of leaves + a fish. Nice to speak to you on tom's phone last weekend.Conehead54https://www.blogger.com/profile/18423862602236191493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-75822784316316921592019-01-11T01:34:28.016+00:002019-01-11T01:34:28.016+00:00This was absolutely the first time I've seen L...This was absolutely the first time I've seen Long-Tailed Tits doing this.

I would positively throw money in the direction of whomever made it happen.<br /><br />I don't think I've ever seen Long Tailed Tits stay in one place for so long. A real luxury.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
