'...bumbarrels make a nest
Of mosses grey with cobwebs closely tied
And warm and rich as feather-bed within...'
John Clare - Bumbarrel's Nest
*****
My little 1963 Bird Spotting book describes the long-tailed tit, once known as the bumbarrel, as 'Very small like ball of wool with knitting-needles(tail) put into it...'
What a perfect description :)
