Of course in regard to the wild birds we are also not out of the wood by any means but it is heartening to see a hardy nucleus of the smaller birds within our neighbourhood. At the week-end we had several surprises on our walk past Ram- sber Scar and Denham. The

We had scarcelv got round to the coffee when a series of familiar calls had me surveying the tree \yith the glasses. They were not diffi­ cult to identify and what a delightful picture they made. Straight opposite on a small alder a dozen or more long tailed tits swung about in the fine branches conversing all the tune as they hunted for food. Then thev came towards us again on an alder and at a distance of forty feet made one of the most exquisite pictures one could wish to see Thev were seldom still or silent and what minute life they were seeking one can only guess. I passed the glasses to my wife who after seeking out one and then another was so intrigued that I had some difficulty in re­ gaining possession. Even in win­ ter these long tails are really beautiful with the pink and brown so nicely broken by black and white—a captivating crea­ ture easily identified by the long narrow tail. At this time of year as is so common, there were others in the party. A pair of marsh tits were seldom far away as were the perkey and boister­ ous blue-tits which soon came down to earth as we flung a
