What a super photo of a long-tailed tit, Chrispy.  They usually fly in groups so this one must have got separated.

PS It looks a very young one so perhaps the parents are nearby

Ahhh, how sweet is that.

At an exhibition at Hillier Gardens,  I bought a photograph of some long tailed tit babies.  They are just so appealing.

Yes, I had to pick him up and put him outside and then he flew off.
He was very calm, even had him perched on my finger for a little while.

Superb shot, Chrispy, well done.  Long tailed tits are just so cute.  My husband got some great shots of a long tailed tit family over at Lea Valley Park last weekend.  They're so quick and shy, I didn't get a single picture, lol.

Just catching up on this forum- what a great fuzzy shot of a cute little guy, Chrispy. Even got the gleam in his eye and shiny toenails :).
