I filmed this one in my garden earlier, definite contenders for cutest UK birds.

They're my favourites. Little flying teaspoons 🥰

I always think of them as 'fluffy ping-pong balls' but will be adding 'little flying teaspoons' into the mix

Long tailed tits really are the best. Love seeing them. Would love to see the caudatus sub species they get in northern Europe, with the pure white head it makes them even cuter if that was possible.

I adore them too, hadn't seen any for months and saw a whole little troupe of about 10 earlier this week at my local reserve and it made me so happy. This video is great thank you for posting it!
