a gathering of tits

For once I had the camera ready when there was an invasion of Long-tailed tits at the feeding station outside my window.

They are such pretty little birds. I've had lots of them in my garden this winter too. Ours are a little different to yours, though. Here in the UK, they have darker heads.

They're just so cute! That's so interesting about the darker plumage of the British birds. I checked Wikipedia last night and apparently yours is the most common European variant and the white-headed one is only dominant in the northern part of the continent.

Yes, that's my understanding too. :)
