I've just had a wonderful encounter coming out of my store-shed - a Long-tailed Tit flew in making lots of noise, and landed on the door jamb. I stood motionless, watching it - absolutely amazed I should be only inches away. Then, it flitted from the door frame onto my arm - just above the elbow (I can feel the sensation of it landing and its claws gripping my shirt as I write this - like a little kiss!).
Divine.

A bird has never landed on me like that before - I wonder if it is nesting in the shed and was trying to see me off!
