Default Feeding area hectic today, are these long tail tits?

Hi all

As some of you know I am very new to all this so I am learning.

This is the tree outside my window at work. I have been having Blue/Great Tits and a Nuthatch named Norman

Today I heard quite a bit of noise looked round to see some that hadn't been before.

Piccie





So sweet

Aww they really are lovely aren't they.

The Bluetit on the main trunk looks like he has been pushed out, looks most disgusted as they are always here

Default Long Tailed tits

They are beautiful little birds. Again a distinctive sound and where there is one there is usually more as they move in flocks. Lovely shots. One of my favourite birds too.

I need to get a job like yours so I can look out the window and watch little visitors come and go.

Is the nuthatch still visiting?

Yes the Nuthatch visits every day without fail. He smashes the sunflower seeds on the trunk and eats them, brilliant to watch

Are you near open countryside? Those pictures look like it might be an Ex RAF establishment?
