Long-tailed Tit

This petite, lively bird boasts a small bill. It stands out with its diminutive, fluffy frame adorned in charming pink, black, and white feathers, accentuated by an elongated tail. Plumage may vary regionally; individuals in the north exhibit a white head lacking broad black markings and lighter underparts compared to their southern counterparts. Juveniles, observed during summer and early autumn, display brown head sides before maturing into adult coloring by winter. Often seen in groups, occasionally mingling with other tit species and small woodland birds. Its high-pitched, restless calls contribute to its active nature. Typically found in wooded areas, forests, parks, gardens, hedges, and occasionally frequents bird feeders.
