Aegithalos caudatus
Long-tailed Tit - Named for obvious reasons. It's tail is longer than the rest of it's body. Long-tailed tits are seldom seen alone. More often in groups flitting around trees and hedgerows uttering their high pitched calls. Woven nests containing spider webs and lichen are built in a tree or shrub. The female incubates a clutch of between 8-12 eggs. These photographs were taken in Derby and Co. Leitrim.
