Overview
The long-tailed tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive colouring, a tail that is bigger than its body, and undulating flight. Gregarious and noisy residents, long-tailed tits are most usually noticed in small, excitable flocks of about 20 birds. Like most tits, they rove the woods and hedgerows, but are also seen on heaths and commons with suitable bushes.

Where to see them
Found across the UK escept for the far north and west of Scotland. They can be seen in woodland, farmland hedgerows, scrubland, parkland and gardens. In winter they form flocks with other tit species.

When to see them
All year round

What they eat
Insects, occasionally seeds in autumn and winter

Hi Matthew,

nice shot! I would suggest for future to show a bigger picture. I think it is a pitty for such a nice picture to be so small.

TFS,
