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

One of my favourite birds. Probably cos we rarely see them

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 :).
