Well, this week has been better than last week already for photography.
I don't know the collective noun for long-tailed tits, but it should be called a "flutter". They don't visit very often but when they do, there are lots of them and they are never still. In the past I have had lots of problems trying to get decent photos and they are one of my favourite birds - just little fluffy bundles with a long tail. They were fluttering all over the feeders in the garden today and I managed some slightly better photos than usual.
It is such a pity that it's face is rather hidden on this one, but I am including it because it is a very typical pose and encapsulates my "fluffy bundle" description.
Finally, as it was getting dark, I had put my camera away when I saw 3 roe deer on the front lawn. Out came the camera again. It was far too dark for decent shots but I set it to ISO 1600 and managed one passable shot. Not technically brilliant but it shows beautifully a roe deer buck with its velvet antlers.
