a pair of tits

Last October I posted a picture of a long-tailed tit on the rosebush outside my window.

Now there's a couple come back

They've been chirruping incessantly outside

flying up on to the window,

hovering by the wheelie bins



and generally making their presence felt.

Update: Wednesday 4th April.

One of the tits has been tapping at my window again this morning; in fact it has been slightly annoying. Here I've been typing away at the computer and then suddenlt I'm interupted by this rap, tap, rap on the window.

I briefly saw three of them balancing on the telephone wire.

More information on these birds can be found at British Garden Birds, where you can listen to a recording of their song and call.
