Long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus)
Distinctive, undulating, gregarious, and a lover of small and excitable flocks, the Long-tailed tit is, as a matter of fact, one of the smallest garden birds in the UK. If not for its extensively long tail, the most characteristic part of the bird, it would be tiny and measure just 6cm in length.The Long-tailed tit is somewhat fluffy in appearance, almost adorable (called a “tiny ball of fluff,” in the Guardian) and features a short, stubby bill. There’s very little difference between males and females, both of which develop plumages of mainly black and white with clear gradations of grey and pink
