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.
Let me know when that tide's coming in won't you

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.

ReplyDeleteHow cute! They remind me of our local Bushtits - similar behavior, too, sounds like.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a long tailed Tit..What a sweet face..Great shots..
ReplyDeleteIn 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little bird! I can see why you look for them when you hear them. I liked your description of their flight.
ReplyDeleteI love the absolutely round eye! What a delightful bird. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the wagtail, Adam. I dont see wagtail roosts in these parts - more's the pity!
