The Long-tailed Tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive blush, black and white colouring and it's tail which is longer than its body.

The long-tailed tit has a tail longer than it's body and a bouncing flight, and they are the cutest little guys!

Here's something a little different from me - I've been wanting to do some nature based artwork for a while now, & I think I might have found my style for this with some artwork I made into family holiday greeting cards in December :)

Just been visited by a large family of long tailed tits. The collective name for these birds is, apparently, a ‘vollery’. This word doesn’t somehow capture the complete chaos of a long tail tit visit. I prefer ‘flurry’.

Here are two juveniles on our fat slab feeder. Looking forward to seeing them when their adult feathers grow out. #birds #aves #longtailedtits

Loved listening to the bird song in Kelvibgrove Square in the West End of Glasgow this morning. It's mostly the high-pitched squeaking of a family of newly fledged long-tailed tits.

For #LongTailedTits, it really does take a village https://phys.org/news/2025-05-tailed-tits-village.html paper by Jennifer Morinay et al.: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2656.14237

"about 70% of long-tailed tit nests are destroyed by predators every year... By early May, the season is too advanced to re-nest, and if a pair has lost their brood they give up for the year... they often become helpers, moving to another nest and assisting... Around half of all broods have helpers, typically just one or two, but up to eight at a single nest."

Cuteness overload - a family of #fledgling #LongTailedTits parked and awaiting food from their parents.
