I like to see those Tits - I like to see all all kinds in fact, Blue. Coal, long tailed etc.

Don't worry you will be fine as long as you wash your feeders!

I have hardly seen any Green Finches this year as they seem to have been decimated by disease

We seem to have our usual flock of around 20 or so.
Great tits do seem a bit thin on the ground though, but lots of Blue and Cole tits. Long tail tits are only very occaisional visitors to our feeders, parhaps one every few months.

I prefer the exclusive "Bare" and "Pert" tits personally.

'How long it took' was the first post surely wasnt it?! This was never meant to be a serious thread!
