tiny long-tailed tit

[turlough]

We've had a very persistent winter here this year and this has happily meant that I've had lots of visitors at my bird feeders. Today I had the opportunity to photograph this adorable little Long-Tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus caudatus) while it was hunting for seeds on the bike-shed roof just outside my window.

I'm so sorry! I remembered to change the access on the first photo I uploaded but completely forgot to do it for the second too. It should be fixed now.

Thank you for this post - this tiny bird has just convinced me there's still something good in the world.

Small, fluffy, and cute animals are definitely among the good things in this world.

I'm not seeing your pic, but that might be my computer... which is being cranky today. I'll check back tomorrow.

ETA: Well that's interesting! I closed Safari and opened Chrome, and now I can see your long-tailed tit. What a sweetheart.

Oh my gosh, that's ridiculous. It looks like a cartoon of a bird, maximized for cuteness. Is the bird so round because it's puffed up to keep warm? P.
