Long-tailed Tit
Aegithalos caudatus
46.4804, 6.83345
Field Notes
Description:
Not directly related to the true tits, the Long-tailed Tit is a tiny round-bodied bird with a long, narrow tail. It has dark-streaked ear coverts, and yellow-orange upper orbital skin, well visible here. This little bird was a very quick visitor and didn't give me the chance of a second shot to get its tail.
Habitat:
A patch of mixed deciduous/conifer forest.
Notes:
Widespread throughout temperate northern Europe and Asia, into boreal Scandinavia and south into the Mediterranean zone.
