Sometimes it was difficult to see which tail belonged to which bird. Perhaps they were just very eagerly hungry and forgot themselves. Love your garden finds today.Jennifer Tetlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216669559770468403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478882493164975499.post-60367288461705485092021-01-25T22:40:52.823+00:002021-01-25T22:40:52.823+00:00Thank you for sharing your lovely sightings/photog...Thank you for sharing your lovely sightings/photographs.<br />Enjoy the remaining January days, the month does seem to have gone quite quickly.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478882493164975499.post-47534582917433450492021-01-25T14:25:33.631+00:002021-01-25T14:25:33.631+00:00Your long tailed tits are adorable!

I'd love to see a wasp spider - looked at Arne but no success! It is always a joy to see Long Tailed Tits in the garden and on the feeders :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478882493164975499.post-44900548310712841902021-01-23T06:45:22.394+00:002021-01-23T06:45:22.394+00:00Always a joy to see Cyclamen coum- it seems to rea...Always a joy to see Cyclamen coum- it seems to readily naturalise as does C. hederifolium that flowers from late summer. It's handy that the seeds have a fatty substance that attracts ants which get their reward for dispersing the seeds!<br /><br />Lovely to see the Wasp spider sac. The adults seemed less numerous my way last season-hopefully they will bounce back this year. I don't know whether you've been watching Winterwatch but there was an amazing photo that somebody sent in with a Wasp Spider feeding on a small Common Lizard trapped in its web-makes a change to grasshoppers & bush-crickets!Conehead54https://www.blogger.com/profile/18423862602236191493noreply@blogger.com
