Some info about the Long-Tailed Tit
/
The Long-tailed Tit, Aegithalos caudatus, is a very small passerine bird. It breeds in most of Europe and Asia. It is a non-migratory species.
It is closely related to the true tits, and in winter it is often found with tit flocks.
This is a very small bird at only 13–15 cm in length including its very long tail, which itself makes up 7–9 cm of the total. The Long-tailed Tit is black and brown above and whitish below, with reddish flanks. It has a white crown. North European birds (A. c. caudatus) have completely white heads and flanks.
This is a restless species, constantly on the move as it searches for insects and other small food items. It is usually found in small flocks, and has been described as an avian sheep.
Long-tailed Tits are birds of deciduous woodlands with undergrowth. They nest in a tree or shrub. Six to twelve eggs are laid in a woven closed nest. The nest is held together with spider webs, and camouflaged with lichen. Adult birds will find a relative's nest and help feeding their "nephews and nieces", if their own nest is predated.
The call is loud trisyllabic srih-srih-srih.

Hej Micke,
This POV of a L.-tailed Tit is unusual and makes it look like a feather ball with a little beak coming out of it. This is sharp and you have made a good job in the poor light.

Hälsningar, Ivan

Beautiful little bird, captured perfectly. Lovely POV, the DOF very nice, setting the subject off. Focus is wonderful, details of feathering so sharp I can almost feel them. In what looks like low light conditions you have made it work. TFS

Hej Micke,
I think I know this bird ;-)
Beautiful shot with very good details, the eyebrow is well seen. The shallow DOF is very good the blurredBG makes the bird standout nicely.
Snyggt jobbat Micke.

Excelente POV y agradable composición.

Pequeñito, bien parecido y perfectamente retratado Mikael... una excelente imagen a pesar de las difíciles condiciones lumínicas y la escasa velocidad de disparo.
Gran foco, agudeza y punto de vista conforman una bella composición.
Gracias y hasta la próxima... Ricardo

Tiny, good-looking and perfectly depicted Mikael... an excellent image in spite of the difficult light conditions and the scarce shot speed.

Hi Mikeal,
Outstanding details and colors in this well composed capture on a very cute subject, thanks for sharing.
Rick

He's a funny looking fellow! head and body all merged into one it seems!
Of course you have nice sharpness Mikael with that fab lens and with it an amazing background. The poor light has been used to your favour and the bird still stands out well against the dark background. Not sure about placing him dead centre in the shot but it works ok.

Good job
Simon

Hello Mikael,
Great shot, very good POV and pose. Sharpness,details and colors are excellent.
Very well done .TFS..

Hello Mikael,
This is a beautiful capture of this bird. I don't know if I am confused in species but it is seems that this one has a short tail or is it this POV that cause this impression? Anyway, I like its pose and great details, perfect exposure and this beautiful neutral BG that suits your little subject perfectly. As usual, this is a very well done picture. Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Mikael,

How beautiful! This little bird looks so cute and you managed to capture its cuteness very well! You composed the image very well and the plain soft background is a nice compliment to your shot. Direct eye contact is also an asset and the clean profile of the bird is perfectly readable against the background.
The colors look natural and offer a clue about the existing light conditions. It seems it was a rather dim day. You managed to preserve the details in both shadows and highlights thanks to a perfect exposure. I love the small color range in your photo! Very good job! Thanks!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie
