Long tailed tit

Just had the joy of watching about 6 or 7 long tailed tits rummaging around for food, in Sandyford Industrial Estate

Had my first personal experience yesterday.
It was short but a joy

Isn't it funny how those fleeting glimpses can leave you smiling all day

Only time I've seen them in my garden was last Spring when two came along looking for a nest site, unfortunately they did not stay.

There seems to be a resident flock of them in the Iveagh Gardens off Harcourt Street in Dublin. I see them regularly, like little budgies with long tails, unmistakeable and a joy to behold. I wouldn't fancy being an insect with that lot picking about on the tree branches!

Saw a bunch in my garden last week but usually dont see around here. Used to see them by the dodder in tallaght. Fantastic weavers of nests.

I have a family party of about 6 that visit nearly daily.
They never fail to bring cheer

Hard to get photos, they don't stay still!!

Lucky sods. I have never had one in my garden nor have I ever seen one elsewhere in Ireland. I get loads of coal tits, blue tits, and great tits all years round, and in big numbers each winter, but they never bring a few LTTs with them.

I'd never seen any before and was shocked to see them in an industrial estate.

Another one in an unusual place was when I saw a Jay, on the side of the road (alive) in Kilmacanogue.

Yep, there a few jays around there. If you go to the rees around the Glenview hotel, you'll see them. And the LTTs were in Charlesland. Also saw a Barn Owl here last week in th esnow.
