The long-tailed tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive colouring, a tail that is bigger than its body, and undulating flight. Gregarious and noisy residents, long-tailed tits are most usually noticed in small, excitable flocks of about 20 birds. Like most tits, they rove the woods and hedgerows, but are also seen on heaths and commons with suitable bushes. [RSPB]

I've got to say, it's really, really cute. Long tail, weeny beak, and pretty colouring; what a beauty!
ReplyDeleteone of the cutest birds in all the world - perhaps outdone only by the fairy wrens in australia. :)
ReplyDeleteHij staat er prachtig op Bob.
ReplyDeleteYes, she/he is.
DeleteI never see these till the autumn and winter. I thought they must migrate. Difficult to imagine them going far as they never seem to fly very well.
ReplyDeleteThey are here, always.
DeleteBei uns in Deutschland gibt es viele Meisen, aber diese Art habe ich noch nicht gesehen !
ReplyDeleteWieder wundervolle aufnahmen, ich finde jedes Foto so schön!
Und das video ist erschütternd und regt zum nachdenken an.
Noch einen schönen Sonntag wünscht dir
Jutta

ReplyDeleteI love your 'feathered fuzz ball', that I can understand.

ReplyDeleteNice bird
ReplyDeleteThe Longtailed tit has got to be the sweetest little bird I have ever seen. I do see it way up in the tree tops, but here they are so timid, and never come to the feeders like the other tits. I have long admired it's petit head and long tail, but unfortunately have never succeded in getting a good capture. All yours are fabulous Bob!:) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that you had it in Portugal, lovely.
Deletewhat a dear
