Long-tailed Tit
Long-tailed Tit
Latin name
Aegithalos caudatus
Family
Long-tailed tits (Aegithalidae)
Description:
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 except 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
