Long-Tailed Tits

Not the huge flocks of them which some people get, and which have had in the past, but quite a few of them. They really go for our fat balls from the RSPB which have dried insect bits in them - okay so the idea of a lump of lard with bits of dead insect may not appeal to you or me but the birds love them! In addition we've had great and blue tits around on the feeders too, and the usual two grossly overweight pigeons which I think only survive the cat population because they're deemed to high-risk as prey because of their size because they've got a take-off run like a fully laden airliner...

The primroses and snowdrops are out in flower, I'm not sure if we planted or inherited these, or even if they're the actual wild ones, but they could be!
