As I sat down to write this, my eye was caught by the activities a banditry of blue tits in my garden. I have to confess I didn’t know that a banditry was the accepted term for a group of blue tits until I looked it up but there is something about their movement and the flashes of colour that bring to mind the romantic notion of the colourful bandit – an entirely fictional one with a good heart who does no harm.
