Long-tailed tits, a robin & a swan
This collection of photo’s are from several trips this month to Blashford Lakes nature reserve. The majority as the title suggests are the Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus), which up to now I have found somewhat elusive given their flitty nature, only getting a shot or two.
However this time around found a prime location where they are likely nesting, anyway on to the pics, 7 of them!
