Long-tailed Tit DSC_6349
Long-tailed Tit / aegithalos caudatus. Brocton, Staffordshire. 23/02/16.
I always find it hard to resist photographing these active little bundles of feathers!
This image was made back in February when they were still moving about in sizeable feeding groups.
Now I am seeing them in pairs and busy collecting nesting material....how time passes.
One of the great rewards of watching wildlife is that you can 'hang' time on such events. How much nicer to be able to shape and measure a year around what's happening in the natural world, than to refer to diaries and calendars.
