Just before we left for Islay we found a local Long-tailed Tit's nest by accident. We happened on the bird collecting feathers. Its an odd mixture of the cute and comical. They are quite confiding so we were able to observe the bird from fairly close with relatively huge feathers disappearing into the tight bush as well as getting the shot.
This evening we returned in the hope that the site was active; predation of Long-tailed tit's nests is quite common. However, just on dusk a bird appeared in the opposite hedging. I say appeared but in fact we mostly heard it. After a short time it entered the nest giving us a very satisfactory end to our walk.
