Long-tailed Tit

You seldom see a Long-tailed Tit on its own. You'll usually find them in groups of at least half a dozen. Very small birds with a tail longer than it's body. They do make it easy for you to spot them though with a constant trill of noise as they restlessly work through trees and undergrowth.
I always look round to see them when I hear them. I don't know why, as they are very common here. I just have a soft spot for them. In flight they remind me a bit of a pom pom with a tail. Cute little chaps.

  5. How cute! They remind me of our local Bushtits - similar behavior, too, sounds like.

  7. In New Mexico we had Bush Tits. Like your tits, their eyes are so small that they seldom catch the light. It gives them a blank expression, out of character with their energetic lifestyle.

  13. Oh I love Long Tailed Tits but have not seen any for ages. Maybe I just need to look harder! Many thanks for adding this lovely little bird to #AnimalTales and for being such a good supporter of the linky over the last year.
