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!
