Hi there, I'm new to this site and I'm from Canada. I visit the UK every 2 or 3 years and I'm always interested in your bird life as some of it is very different from what we have in Canada. I just returned last week and saw a small bird in my aunt's garden that I've never seen before. Maybe someone can tell me what it was. It was small (bluetit sized) but with a very long tail, buff chest and dark wings (black or dark grey). They were in a group of about 8 and all over her berry tree. Any ideas?

Sounds like long tailed tits. Lovely little birds, on of my favourites!

Question Re: Love this site

I'm from Canada but I love this site. I really like the comments and the united interest everyone has. I've looked online but haven't been able to find anything similar in Canada. Do you have sister organisations in other countries?

I had taken some pictures of what I found out were called Long-tailed Tits last time I was in England. I had hope to post them but unfortunately, I caught mostly tree on my camera.
