Big flock of long tailed tits: migrants?!

Arequipa · 2014-10-24 17:21:03

Evening! I have seen a couple of flocks of long tailed tits. Just an hour ago a group of 6-10 birds followed each other into my garden, looking for food.. I havnt seen them all Summer/Autumn.. Would these be foreign birds wintering down here? A

No, long tailed tits travel in family groups in search of food.
