Ah. We have had up to four in our garden, they like the fat-ball feeder, but only at weekends (that we know of) as if it's part of some food-gathering route. On Sunday we only had two turn up, and one had a very truncated tail, a short-tailed long-tailed tit? But as I'd been ill I hadn't bought a top up for the feeder and they don't seem to want to try the seed feeders. Hopefully they'll reappear and with the other two, otherwise I'll have to assume they've died in the cold conditions/local felines.
