Long-Tailed Tits are becoming more common over winter. Reports say it's because they have learned to use the bird feeders. I know they love scones.

All Photos taken in my garden - near Poole, Dorset UK
Just how many species visited my garden in a twelve month period?
2009 -2010 proved to be a very productive period.
This project was not only to record the number of species, but to get top quality photos.
