Yes I agree with you samwiseg, one of those was definitely a long tailed tit. Strange as they usually fly around and gather in groups (I was going to say 'mobs'!!). Lovely video tho skysmum, I love to see the wild birds when they bathe. |

How lovely. You're so good setting up their own bath for them down in your garden. And much appreciated by the looks of things.

Hezz i was standing at an awkward angle trying not to spook them , glad you wern't sea sick . I gotta say long tailed tits are one of my favourites! They do hang around in "mobs" as Shirls said, but even better is when they go to bed  Take a look at this: |

Aaaahhhh that is sooooo sweeeeeet samwiseg. I love long tailed tits, they are stunning! My chickens do that, I know there are only three but they always stand on one another especially when they go to sleep!!! |

That is just sooooo not fair!!! Poor little bird who first decides on where to roost gets the outside spot! I am indignant for him!!! But lovely, totally beautiful. I so love little birds. |

skysmum Hezz - do not worry about the unfair bit, I am reliably informed that they re-jostle around in the night so that the centre one takes his/her turn on the outside and the outside ones take their turns in the middle! And we think we are the superior of the species
